First Images of the JTLV, Responsible For Replacing the US Military’s Humvee
Leave a CommentThe US military’s Humvee has become an iconic vehicle over the years, and even though it has widespread admiration, the vehicle itself is old.
As a result, the military awarded the $6.7 billion contract to replace the Humvee to Wisconsin-based truck maker Oshkosh.
Oshkosh is expected to produce approximately 17,000 Joint Light Tactical Vehicles (JLTVs) over the course of the deal, which come in badass two- and four-seat variations.
If you need convincing as to why the JTLV will be a good replacement for the Humvee then check out some of the specs and pictures below:
Core1080 Crew Protection System
Mine resistance
IED detection
Bolt-on armor
Optional turret and missile launch units
Electronic suspension
70 percent faster than the best tactical wheeled vehicle on the market
