Replacement for the Humvee: Joint Light Tactical Vehicle

From 2019, the US Army will replace the Humvee (High Mobility Multipurpose Wheeled Vehicle) with a new combat vehicle. The new "Joint Light Tactical Vehicle" (JLTV) is based on experiences gained with the MRAP (Mine Resistant Ambush Protected Vehicle) deployed since 2007. The first 500 vehicles are set to be delivered to the Army by the end of March.

In total, the Army plans to deploy 49,099 vehicles, all manufactured by Oshkosh, for all their components. The Marine Corps is set to receive 9,000 JLTVs. The new combat vehicle will be delivered in two variants and four mission configurations: General Purpose, Close Combat Weapons Carrier, Heavy Guns Carrier, and as a utility vehicle. You can watch the video of the vehicle in the featured image. HERE is the brochure for the vehicle.
