About this program
The Joint Light Tactical Vehicle (JLTV) is a Major Defense Acquisition Program managed by the U.S. Army's Program Executive Office for Combat Support and Combat Service Support. The program aims to develop and field a family of light tactical vehicles to replace the aging High Mobility Multipurpose Wheeled Vehicle (HMMWV) fleet for both the U.S. Army and Marine Corps. Designated as an Acquisition Category IC program following the Major Capability Acquisition pathway, the JLTV represents a significant modernization effort for the Department of Defense's tactical wheeled vehicle fleet.
Contract awards under the JLTV program range from small purchases of individual components to multi-billion dollar production contracts. The largest awards include a $2.6 billion contract to Oshkosh Defense LLC in 2015 and subsequent production contracts to Am General LLC, including a $9.76 billion single-award contract through 2033. Notable recurring contractors include Am General LLC for vehicle production, DRS Network & Imaging Systems LLC for integrated vision systems, and various small businesses for specialized components and support services. Most contracts are awarded without set-aside designations, though some smaller component and service contracts utilize total small business set-asides. Primary funding comes from the U.S. Army Contracting Command, with contract performance typically occurring in South Bend, Indiana (Am General), Oshkosh, Wisconsin (Oshkosh Defense), and various specialized manufacturing locations across the United States. Contract durations commonly range from 12 months for component delivery to 5-10 years for major production agreements.
