MARKET SURVEY

PREFACE:

OBJECTVES:

22.5 ton payload, with armor solution included as part of the payload.

A copy of the revised Draft Army Performance Specification (HDT PSPEC) is attached as the technical description for market survey purposes for the vehicles.

The HDT will be used primarily in support of construction projects by loading, transporting and dumping payloads of sand and gravel aggregates, crushed rock, hot asphalt mixes, earth, clay, rubble, large boulders and other materials up to gross vehicle weight rating (GVWR) to job sites under worldwide climatic conditions. The HDT will be capable of releasing a uniform amount of aggregate while in motion to allow fast, accurate distribution of material onto the desired surface. The HDT shall have a material control system (MCS) which provides the capability to distribute its load into actuated chutes allowing its payload to be poured into specific locations. The HDT also serves as a quarry truck for the quick transport of bulk raw earth material to and from the crushing screening and washing plant and the asphalt mixing plant. The HDT will be fielded to horizontal construction companies, quarry platoons, asphalt teams and equipment support platoons. The HDT shall be delivered rust proofed and be camouflage Chemical Agent Resistant Coating (CARC) painted. The HDT shall be fully capable of safely accommodating and operating with a proposed armor solution. The HDT vehicle shall satisfy EPA, SAE, DOT, FMVSS and FMCSR requirements applicable to vehicles in their weight classes at the time of manufacture. The vehicle shall be transportable by highway, rail, marine and air modes worldwide.
