The primary goal of JLTV is to provide an affordable Family of Vehicles (FOV) — and companion trailers — that are capable of performing multiple mission roles designed to provide protected, sustained and networked mobility for personnel and payloads across the full range of military operations. All this capability is delivered in an affordable package, thanks to 60 percent better fuel efficiency compared to legacy vehicles, improved reliability and maximizing common components between vehicles.

JLTV mobility and transportability requirements give commanders the flexibility to traverse diverse terrain across the global operational spectrum, as well as providing the option of rotary wing airlift. Having mobility and expeditionary capabilities balanced with force protection and performance requirements is key as it returns the operational flexibility to the commander on the ground, offering choices of where to maneuver rather than being channeled into restricted and predictable operating areas. JLTV’s adjustable height suspension provides significant enhancements to ride quality, increasing warfighter combat effectiveness and facilitating crucial ship transportability. To accommodate backward and forward vehicle integration, JLTV is designed with an open (plug-and-play) architecture and employs a modular approach to accommodate future technologies and platform growth.
