The Medium Tactical Vehicle Family ( FMTV ) is a series of vehicles, based on a common chassis, which varies by charge and mission requirements. FMTV comes from an Austrian 12 M 18 truck, but is substantially modified to meet the requirements of the US Army, this includes a minimum of 50 percent of US content.
Initially there were 17 variants of FMTV, four variants of 2.5 U.S. ton which is intended for Light Medium Tactical Vehicle (LMTV) and 13 variants with 5 US cargo, called Medium Tactical Vehicle (MTV).
Since the first FMTV was held in January 1996, the family has been expanded and the overall design has improved significantly. FMTV was originally produced by Stewart and Stevenson (1996-2006), then by Armour Holdings (2006-2007), then by what is now BAE Systems Platforms & Service until 2011. Currently manufactured by Oshkosh Corporation. On October 13, 2016, the US Army submitted a proposal for the reblee competition FMTV A2. On February 7, 2018, the US Army announced the A2 FMTV contract had been awarded to Oshkosh Defense.

History of development and production
The origins of FMTV trace back to the US Army TRAining and DOctrine (TRADOC) requirements documents issued in 1983 for Medium Bone Truck (MTT), a substitute intended for 2.5-ton trucks in service. In July 1984, a program to see the procurement of 5 tonnes of trucks in the future to replace the 2.5- and 5-ton trucks inside the service started. Cost analysis shows that procurement must be for trucks 2.5 and 5 tons, and in October 1984 FMTV officially started as a program. Request for Proposal (RFP) for FMTV was released in 1988. At this time it is expected that about 120,000 trucks will be ordered over three five-year contracts.
In October 1988, the US Army awarded Stewart & amp; Stevenson, Tactical Truck Company (a 50/50 joint venture between General Motors Military Vehicle and Wheeler Wheel Division of HARSCO Corporation), and Teledyne Continental Motors for 15 prototype vehicles respectively, to be completed in January 1989. In October 1991 5 year FMTV contract awarded to Stewart & amp; Stevenson. The original initial contract amount is expected to be 20,000 vehicles, but this is reduced to 10,843 vehicles valued at USD1.2 billion. Some options were added and upgraded to 11,197 vehicles compared to what would be extended to 7 years of contract. The first FMTV was held in January 1996.
In October 1998 Stewart & amp; Stevenson was awarded a second FMTV contract, this for 8,000 trucks and 1,500 companion trailers and with a value of $ 1.4 billion. The total including options included 11,491 trucks and 2,292 trailers, delivered between September 1999 and October 2004. The truck is an improved A1 model, with improvements including upgraded engines (EPA 1998) and transmission, and ABS introduction. The first A1 model was unloaded in July 2000.
Stewart & amp; Stevenson and Oshkosh Truck Corporation secured a contract in April 2001 for the Evaluation Phase (Phase 1) of the A1 Competitive Rebuy FMTV (FMTV A1 CR) program for subsequent FMTV production contracts. After trials and evaluations, in April 2003 contracts were awarded to Stewart & amp; Stevenson. Production of FMTV A1 CR (designated FMTV A1R) began in Q3 2004. Improved A1R models are numerous and include the new Caterpillar C7 EPA 2004 engine. A total of 21,149 FMTV and companion trailers were built under the A1R FMTV contract award.
In May 2006, Stewart & amp; Stevenson was acquired by Armour Holdings Inc., and in August 2007, Armor Holdings was acquired by BAE Systems.
The US Army intends that the Future Tactical Truck System (FTTS) with only two variants will eventually replace almost all of its tactical wheeled vehicles including FMTV. FTTS never materialized, but along with input from other efforts, continue to be used to determine requirements for upcoming US Army trucks. With FTTS already unsteady, BAE Systems was awarded a bridging contract in June 2008 for up to 10,000 FMTV or trailers, contracts included options (exercised) for 10,000 additional vehicles.
In May 2009, BAE Systems, Navistar Defense and Oshkosh Defense each announced that they have submitted proposals for the competitive FM1V A1P2 rebuy program to the US Armed Forces Lifecycle and Command Control Command (TACOM). In August 2009, the US Army announced that Oshkosh Defense had been awarded a production contract rebuy FMTV A1P2. The award was protested by BAE Systems and Navistar.
The A1P2 rebuy FMTV was awarded as a five-year 'build-to-print' requirement-type award that at the award allowed the US government to order from 0 to 12,415 trucks and 10,926 trailers up to calendar year 2014. Some FMTV variants are excluded from rebuy competitions, they which are excluded including specialist FMTV variants such as HIMARS, Patriot, MEADS and LVAD, plus all armored cabs developed by BAE Systems.
According to the US Army (in February 2012) all FMTV's work with BAE Systems (minus a small number of B-kits armor) has been concluded, BAE Systems and legacy companies have shipped approximately 74,000 FMTV trucks and trailers to the US Army.
The US budget projection in March 2012 states that due to funding constraints, the FMTV program will be discontinued on FY14. Based on the order of contract FMTV can be placed until December 2013, with the first shipment will commence in one year from it, with final delivery one year later. Contract extensions have been created and Justifications and Approvals (J & amp; A) notices for the most recent, which will extend the FMTV contract from September 30, 2016 to August 25, 2019 and will allow for continued procurement of FMTV A1P2, released on 14 October 2016. One the previous day, on October 13, 2016, the US Army requested a proposal for reblee competition FMTV A2.
On January 11, 2017, the Israeli Defense Ministry announced it would acquire 200 FMTV from Oshkosh in a $ 200 million contract. Deliveries are expected to start this year and end by mid 2018. MoD notes that additional orders are likely. At this time Oshkosh asserts that since shipments began in 2010, the company has received orders for more than 24,500 FMTV trucks and 11,400 FMTV trailers.
On September 21, 2017 Oshkosh announced that the US Army has announced administrative modifications to the terms of the A1P2 FMTV contract with the company, this is to set the eighth, ninth and tenth order order price by contract, for a value of approximately $ 466 million. This administrative modification authorizes future orders under the A1P2 FMTV contract until August 25, 2019. This contract renewal will close production of FMTV A1P2.
The most recent domestic FMTV order announced by Oshkosh is also in September 2017. On September 21 an order for 1,065 FMTV with a value of $ 260.1 million under Order Year 8 of the latest contract extension was announced. On September 27, two orders of the next 8 orders for a total of 148 FMTV worth more than $ 36 million were announced, with Oshkosh also confirming that the company has shipped more than 36,200 FMTV trucks and trailers. On November 6, Oshkosh announced the delivery of an FMTV 25,000 truck to the US Army.

Technical description and variant
The 2.5-ton (4x4) FMTV is designated as Light Medium Tactical Vehicle (LMTV), while 5-ton (6x6) is designated Medium Tactical Vehicle (MTV).
FMTV is based on Austrian Steyr 12 M 18 (4x4) trucks, but is substantially modified to meet US Army requirements covering a minimum of 50% of US content. 15 original FMTV prototypes assembled in Austria and based on chassis 12 M 18 cables, fitted with a number of US supplied components/specifications including Caterpillar diesel engines, Allison automatic transmissions and Meritor propellers.
In a step away from the US Army tradition, the design of the Cab Over Engine (COE) was chosen for FMTV while the US Army did not specify this configuration, given the Cold War situation prevailing at that time has shown that the overall length for the transport vessel is a consideration.
In the model-to-model, FMTV is about 3 feet shorter than its predecessor bonnet, while retaining the C-130 Hercules transport capability. In accordance with the loading dimension, all original FMTV variants are C-130 that can be moved in GVWR and all models that can be transported by helicopter underslung equipped with a shear outrigger system. The Low Elevation Parachute Extraction System (LAPES), later revised to the Low Velocity Air Drop (LVAD) production variant A0 LMTV (M1081 cargo) and MTV (M1093 cargo and M1094 dump) variants were produced.
The chassis and FMTV cabins have extensive corrosion protection. This is the first truck to pass the 22-year-old accelerated corrosion test of the US Armed Forces.
The FMTV design has never remained static and to further improve the reliability, user friendliness, and operational flexibility, enhanced/enhanced detail continues throughout FMTV production.
FMTV is built around chassis C-section cold-formed serrated/huck-bolt bolted with tubular cross members. The high grade 758 MPa used is sourced from Sweden. The LMTV variant can be fitted with a DP-10J winch with a 11,000 lb line. The MTV variant uses a DP-515 winch with 15,500 lbs. drag a line.
The current production of FMTV A1P2s is supported by the 2007 Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) corresponding emissions of 7.2 liter six-cylinder Caterpillar C7 diesel engine developing 275 hp and 860 Lb.-Ft. torque in LMTV and 330Ã, hp and 860 Lb-Ft.torque variants in the MTV variant. FMTV A1Rs has the corresponding EPA emission version of 2004 of the same machine with the same power output. The FMTV A1 variant has an earlier EPA emission version of 1998, 3126 ATAAC that develops 275 hp at 2400 rpm and 815 Lb.-Ft.torque at 1600 rpm in LMTV and 330 hp and 850 Lb.-Ft.torque variants in MTV variant. This 6.6 liter engine derivative, 3116 ATAAC, is fitted to the FMTV A0 model where it develops 225 hp and 735 Lb.-Ft. torque in LMTV variants, and 290 hp at 2600 rpm and 860 Lb.-Ft. torque in MTV variants.
The Allison 3070 SP seven-speed transmission fitted to A1P2 and A1R FMTV has also evolved with FMTV, setting its A1 to MD 3070 PT, setting its A0 to MD-D7. It has an integral one-speed transfer case. The all-wheel drive is full-time, with a 30/70 percent front/rear torque split for on-road driving, and a 50/50 percent split for off-road driving.
All FMTV models are equipped with Meritor beam axes, ratings and specifications have also evolved as FMTV has been developed. The suspension is with a combination of tapered parabolic leaf springs (inverted on the MTV rear bogie), shock absorbers, and anti-roll bars for the rear axle/bogie;
Two cargo trailers are part of the Family of Medium Tactical Vehicles (FMTV). The M1082 single-axle trailer is used with LMTV cargo trucks and the M1095 twin-axle trailer is used with MTV cargo trucks. Both trailers have payloads that match the tow truck, and they share many components (including axles) with a tow truck.

Armored cabins and fully armored derivatives
The current operational scenario and recently are now calling logistic trucks of the FMTV type to at least have the option of cabin armoring. When entering production, armoring is not considered an option for FMTV. The first protection solution for FMTV did not answer such a scenario, but it was developed by Stewart & Stevenson and O'Gara-Hess & amp; Eisenhardt Armoring Company (OHE). Called Cab Crew Protected, it is specific to the HIMARS variant and offers flash and Foreign Object Debris (FOD) protection during launch. The designs followed for Enhanced Crew Protected Cabins, and then Armor Protected Cabins, each adding more ballistic capabilities against direct fire, artillery and mine explosions.
To meet the emerging threats to its deployed operations, in March 2004, DRS Technical Services was awarded a $ 16.3 million contract to provide 272 armor protection equipment for FMTV. A total of 1,862 kits are understood to have been produced in total. This device is based on a ballistic protection panel installed in a standard FMTV cabin.
In response to the demands of greater crew protection, BAE Systems developed Low Signature Armored Cab (LSAC) for all FMTV variants. LSAC replaces the standard FMTV cabin (with which it is shared internally) in the disconnect and replace operation.
To meet the current US Long Term Fleet Strategy (LTAS) for armored cabs, BAE Systems is developing the LTAS cab for FMTV. BAE Systems stated that it generates more than 9,000 LTAS cabs for the A1P2 FMTV variant. All Oshkosh FMTV vehicles include steel solutions compatible with the company's LTAS.
LTAS is based on the principles of kit A and B, this allows the vehicle to become armored as needed, and with additional application packages that can adapt to existing threats and can be improved when new armor technologies emerge. A-Kit, which includes a new taxi, modifies FMTV to allow for the addition of armor; B-Kit becomes the largest part of the armor itself.
Mining Mine Landing Mine Vehicle (MRAP) is based on the MTV A1R platform. The US Marines placed an initial order with Armor Holdings then for 1,170 Caiman in July 2007. In total 2,868 Caiman were booked, with deliveries completed during November 2008. BAE Systems launched the MultiTerrain Caiman (MTV) Vehicle at AUSA in the Winter of 2010. The Caiman MTV is a version modification of the Caiman base with a revised driveline, new chassis, and fully upgraded independent suspension. BAE Systems received a contract to increase 2071 (1700 371) Camian to the Caiman MTV standard, this increase completion Q1/Q2 2014. Post-Afghanistan no MRAP Caiman has been detained by US armed forces, although some have been transferred to US law enforcement agencies. Others have been offered as Excess Defense Articles (EDA) to Iraq, Jordan, Nigeria and the United Arab Emirates (UAE).
BAE Systems launched Caiman Light (CLT) in 2008, a five-fifth version of Caiman. To meet the Lightweight Light Vehicle Transport System of Iraq (ILAV) BAE Systems offers a fully armored LMTV in which the LSAC cabin is extended backwards into a troop carrier force. None of these proposals enters production.
Prototype and FMTV development
- To help inform US Air Force A2 acquisition and performance improvement strategy, the Nevade Automotive Test Center was awarded a contract in 2014 to produce and test two Demonstrators of FMTV Technology. It is based on the M1157 A1P2 10-ton Dump chassis provided by the government by Oshkosh, but enhanced by NATC. Testing completed in February 2016.
- Oshkosh Corporation launches FMTV Enhanced Protection & amp; Mobility Demonstrator (EPMD) for 2012. FMTV EPMD is equipped with an independent TAK-4 Oshkosh suspension system and a customized Oshkosh Body Sublimation Undercover Kit (UIK)
- Working with Multidrive and LMTV is integrated with a powerful companion trailer to produce a C-130 Hercules transportable vehicle with a 15,000 kg charge
- Hydraulic Hybrid FMTV (HHV) vehicles were selected as test platforms for the development of a hybrid hydraulic propulsion system
- FMTV was chosen as a platform to show that the first 56 million M777 howitzers and drivers could, for the first time, be used on the same C-130 aircraft
- Stewart & amp; Stevenson produces five hybrid electric FMTVs, each designed for a particular application
- Stewart & amp; Stevenson developed 11-ton demonstrator FMTV A1 to demonstrate the potential for FMTV family growth and potential integration of C4ISR, through technology insertion, while maintaining maximum similarity with the current FMTV fleet. The second vehicle with a tilt type loadbad was also developed as part of the canceled Future Tactical Truck System (FTTS) requirements. A 13 ton demonstrator then follows
- Stewart & amp; Stevenson developed a 13-ton Medium Tactical Truck Demonstrator (MTTD) that incorporated many of the technologies and abilities that the Army envisioned for its future truck
- A number of 8x8 FMTVs have also been developed, these include examples for Land 121 Australia (awarded to Rheinmetall MAN Military Vehicles (RMMV)), 13 ton demonstrators with load handling systems, and a pair of chassis as part of it. Future Tactical Truck System (FTTS) running
FMTV A2 Terms
On October 13, 2016, the US Army submitted a proposal for the reblee competition FMTV A2. In early 2014, US Army Program Executive Officers for Combat Support and Combat Service Support (CS CSS) have suggested that the Army will seek a new mid-sized family of trucks in the mid-2020s.
The A2 FMTV request for proposals (RfP) states that the program will seek "to integrate higher suspensions, wheels and tires, integrate lower body protection, increase engine power, integrate higher capacity alternators, integrate improved data buses, and integrate increased safety ". The winner of the contract will be required to integrate the increase; building vehicles, trailers and equipment; and provide program, maintenance and logistics support. According to RfP, the A2 FMTV contract is expected to cover five years of bookings with two additional one-year option periods for a total potential of 2,400 vehicles if all options are exercises. In a further statement an Army spokesman said RfP: "includes an estimated number of about 2,400 new production vehicles, but the actual number of future awards is not specified and will depend on the proposed price for this quantity, the terms of the army, and available funding.. "
Oshkosh announced on May 8, 2017 that the company has submitted a proposal in response to a Request for Proposal (RFP) for the production effort of A2 Family Medium Vehicle (FMTV). At this point the US Army anticipates the announcement of contract award in the second quarter of fiscal 2018, and declares the next generation FMTV A2 will consist of 16 models and three trailers.
Army announced on February 7, 2018 had chosen Oshkosh to build into FMTV A2. The estimated initial contract value is $ 476.2 million without limitation on the number of vehicles the Army can buy. The company's fixed price contract covers a five-year order period plus two additional one-year options. Estimated dates of the previous settlement have been cited in February 2022. Both Oshkosh and AM General made an offer for these terms.
FMTV is currently being reset at Red River Army Depot after returning from the deployed operation, and the current projection is for the Recap (Recapitalization) program which will start on 2020/2021.
