DALLAS, Aug. 14, 2013 -- Lockheed Martin [NYSE: LMT] celebrated the delivery of 22 Joint Light Tactical Vehicles to the U.S. Army and Marine Corps under the JLTV program's Engineering and Manufacturing Development (EMD) contract. JLTV team members marked the milestone during a ceremony at the Lockheed Martin Missiles and Fire Control facility in Dallas. The vehicles will be transferred to the Army's Yuma Test Center in Arizona and to Aberdeen Test Center in Maryland, where Lockheed Martin will support a 14-month period of government evaluation and testing. "Our team has produced a highly capable, reliable and affordable JLTV for our customers," said Scott Greene, vice president of ground vehicles for Lockheed Martin Missiles and Fire Control. "These vehicles will meet the toughest demands of our Soldiers and Marines. They deserve our best, and that's precisely what we delivered." After rolling up more than 160,000 combined test miles in the program's Technology Development phase, the Lockheed Martin JLTV was selected for continued development through a $65 million EMD contract from the Army and Marine Corps in August 2012. Lockheed Martin designed its JLTV specifically to meet stated customer requirements for the program, rather than trying to adapt an existing vehicle. The result is a lighter, more blast-resistant and more agile vehicle. The Lockheed Martin JLTV is designed to be a total solution -- engineered from the ground up to balance the "iron triangle" of protection, performance and payload while maintaining affordability. The vehicle provides greatly improved crew protection and mobility, lower logistical support costs, superior fuel efficiency, exportable power-generation with substantial margin for future growth, and state-of-the-art connectivity with other platforms and systems. A Meritor Pro-TecTM air suspension system contributes to outstanding off-road performance while minimizing crew fatigue. BAE Systems is responsible for the JLTV's geometrically enhanced protection system, a design that enables levels of blast protection never before achieved in this vehicle class, and for vehicle final assembly. JLTVs are designed to replace or supplement the existing HMMWV fleet. Fan Funding : PayPal : arronlee33@hotmail.com. Thanks a lot for your support! :-)

stupid an ugly piece of garbage

Yo!

Want!
-
this looks nice, unlike that ugly Oshkosh L-ATV
-
Does it come in black? How much for a dozen? I hope I get a discount :D
-
looks like Land Rover not Humvee anymore
-
make civilian version like Hummer lol
-
Oshkosh for the win!
-
Y'all lost to Oshkosh. Stick to the jets, Lockheed.
-
It's up against some serious competition for foreign sales.

This reminds me of the dog cleaning van in Dumb and Dumber. This video would've been better with some specs, couldn't all be classified. I think it's criminal that we had guys doing patrols in Humvees instead of APCs in Iraq, and all the money wasted there (diesel power plant that's never used, dumping engines to scrappers because of one bad part, losing equipment to ISIS). Our army used to be lean and mean, with the right tools for the job. Now it's these Swiss Army knife approaches, one vehicle to do it all, and it's full of gear and bloated with armor as though all we can imagine is putzing around like big fat targets. I'm for fewer endless occupations, more fast and concise combat like in Desert Storm

Your daddy's Hummer costs more to service than the newer JLTV's, so it's just a matter of when. I see the national guard Hummers on their last leg too. I like all of them, however a Cummins and an Allison joined, is a match made in heaven. The competition has begun.

Cool truck! Anyone know if itll stop and RPG or survive an IED?
-
This is Ugly ass Fuck. Oshkosh jltv look a whole lot meaner and provides more protection
-
AM General JLTV is more Better.
-
lockhead fucking martin. !
better armor better flexybility damn i love this bitch -
Not a bad vehicle but Ill stick with our Aussie made stuff, Bushmaster PMV and the Hawkei. Not a single person has died in a Bushmaster in the years it has been in service (began operations in 1998) while the Hawkei is actually more advanced development wise with it in the final testing phase, At current rate the Hawkei will actually be fielded 2+ years earlier then any of the JLTV's.
Shame the Hawkei wasn't offered to the US, I reckon would have made a serious contender not to mention better choice for interoperability between allied forces. -
прикольный броневик
-
Affordable pricing my ass!!! There is no such thing as affordable when it comes to military equipment. News Flash, with budget cuts and military downsizing, I for see the Humvee staying for at least another 10 years.

can someone tell me about Oshkosh mraps, is very light and small and us army put an order of 8500 lol.. what about those ? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oshkosh_M-ATV
