ith the large order of Jitv tactical vehicles over a span of only two decades, the three known competitiors have to battle it out. Unfortunately only one among the three is going to win the production tender. No one knows if it is going to be AM General, Lockhed Martin or OshKosh Defense.
This competition is great as it is a guarantees that future soldiers will get better protection from the enhancements in the trucks. We are likely to see some spectacular innovations and additions to the JITV tactical vehicles as manufacturers strive to impress the defense force decision making team for a chance to win the luctrative tender.
According to the army chief of general staff in an earlier comment, these unique defence vehicles play a central role in the defense system and vehicle inventory of the army in future. It is only reasonable therefore that only the best is selected. When considering the JITV, the army looks at a broad family of vehicles Vs. its needs.
It is clear that this is one truck that will serve the soldiers significantly in the battle field. The challenge therefore for manufacturers to develop something that impresses the army without losing its functional vitality is something that will be appreciated even in several decades to come.
This vehicle will be replacing old Humvees. According to experts the JITV will offer soldiers better mobility and protection which are crucial at the war zone. The technological improvements made in this vehicle will enable soldiers face new threats in a better way considering the fact that they are being expanded to accomodate more space. No budgetary constraints are going to come in the way of the army acquiring this crcuial and very important addition to its facilities. The JITV tactical vehicles are the break of military truck technology.
