"This review demonstrates the BAE Systems-Navistar JLTV design is mature and balances program payload, protection and performance requirements," said Mark Signorelli, vice president and general manager of New Vehicles & Amphibious Systems for BAE Systems. "We are pleased that our design - built around the needs of the Warfighter - passed this significant milestone and we are looking forward to moving into the test and evaluation portion of JLTV's TD phase."
"Completing this review is a big event for the BAE Systems-Navistar team," said Kevin Thomas, director, new product, Navistar Defense. "As we head into the next portion of the TD phase, we will continue to enhance our offering to ensure our customer receives the best vehicle possible."
The BAE Systems-Navistar team has developed two JLTV prototypes for internal testing that have provided valuable information being used in the CDR. The company is incorporating this information to put forward the best possible offering that meets program requirements. The JLTV design also incorporates lessons learned from the U.S. Department of Defense's Mine Resistant Ambush Protected (MRAP) vehicle program and features the latest in lightweight, advanced armor and a V-shaped hull design to provide unmatched crew protection.
