General
information |
The
TAC-V JAMMA V-22 ITV variant, the foundation cornerstone
of the JAMMA family of vehicles, has been built
to satisfy the requirements of special operations
user groups. A visionary project dating back to
2005, the TAC-V Joint All-Terrain Modular Mobility
Asset (JAMMA) family of vehicles has been developed
to be a genuine technology leap over existing
military armored all-terrain vehicles in performance,
modular functionality and overall capabilities.
Force Protection acquired the rights to produce
the JAMMA from Tac-V, a Calif.-based company that
developed it. The Jamma is presented for the first
time to the public at the Association of the United
States Army (AUSA) Institute of Land Warfare’s
Winter Symposium in Ft. Lauderdale, Fla., February
24-26, 2010. The JAMMA Force Protection is the
only armor-ready, four-occupant, hybrid, high-performance
off-road vehicle that can be transported inside
the V-22 Osprey helicopter. It is equipped to
handle high speeds during extreme off-roading,
on highways and through urban terrain. JAMMA is
also capable of rapidly adapting to and being
armored for specific mission profiles such as
reconnaissance, rescue/recovery, med-evac and
mobile security. In addition to a multitude of
vehicle configurations available in the 60”
wide V-22 ITV variant, an 80” wide, extreme
off-road performance suspension is available on
the same core vehicle, which maximizes the internal
cargo space of the H-53 and H-47 aircraft.

Armament |
The
Jamma Force protection can be armed with
7.62 mm machine gun, mounted at the front
of the roof. Another 12.7 mm machine can
be mounted at the rear of the vehicle.
|
Protection |
The
Jamma Force Protection is optimized for
rollover protection and features an attachment
system with threat-specific armor that can
be easily attached or removed in virtually
any environment. The JAMMA family of vehicles
include an armor attachment system that
allows threat specific armor to be easily
and readily attached to or removed from
the vehicle in virtually any environment;
stadium seating that allows the driver to
be comprehensively armored while also preventing
the driver from blocking the fire arcs of
the other vehicle occupants; and, optimized
occupant roll-over protection with full
fields of fire on the move.
|
Propulsion |
The V-22 ITV is powered by a 3.2L turbocharged
diesel engine that produces 180 hp and 398
lb-ft of torque, giving the truck a payload
capacity of 3,500 lbs. A hybrid electric
drivetrain is also available and adds a
100-hp electric motor that assists the motor,
cuts fuel consumption and can act as a generator
to provide 22 kW of power at either 120VAC
or 208VAC. The Jamma uses a 4 x 4 wheeled
chassis. The TAC-V JAMMA V-22 ITV variant
is also available with a diesel/JP8 engine,
or, with a state of the art hybrid driveline
that optimizes the vehicle's efficiency
and generates 25kW continuous exportable
power. A fully-independent suspension topped-off
with run-flat, bead-locked tires allows
the V-22 ITV to tackle 31-degree inclines
head-on and traverse side slopes of 22-degrees
or more. Its 12-inches of ground clearance
and step approach and departure angles allow
it to take on 15-in vertical steps and its
tall ride allows it to ford 30 inches of
water without any special preparation.
