The Humvee replacement process, undertaken by the U.S. military, was an effort to replace the current AM General Humvee multi-purpose motor vehicle. The Humvee had evolved several times since its introduction in 1984, and is now used in tactical roles for which it was not originally intended. The U.S military pursued several initiatives to replace it, both in the short and long term. The short-term replacement efforts utilise commercial off-the-shelf vehicles, while the long-term efforts focused on building requirements for the Humvee replacement and technology research and evaluation in the form of various prototype vehicles. After going through the replacement process, the Joint Light Tactical Vehicle, or JLTV was chosen as the successor.
In this video we are going to take a look at the winner of the JLTV program, a modified version of the Oshkosh L-ATV vehicle.
