The US Army wants to divert funding away from its Joint Light Tactical Vehicle (JLTV) program to continue its plans to recapitalize older Humvees.
The service originally acquired a small number of six-door Humvee variants more than a decade ago as part of a program to develop a mobile communication and data-sharing network. At least one of these war wagons, which are reminiscent of commercial Hummer limousines, remains in service and still supporting research and development efforts.
The vehicle had a low-slung tactical profile and some interesting features, but it was incredibly underpowered considering it was a Lambo.
Many US partners already use the light trucks as scouts, cargo carriers, and even light artillery.
