JLTV Program Proves the Army Can Acquire a New Combat Vehicle (From RealClearDefense)

January 24, 2020January 24, 2020Daniel Gouré, Ph.D.

Last Friday, the Army announced that it was canceling the rapid prototyping phase of the new Optionally-Manned Fighting Vehicle (OMFV), intended to replace its aging fleet of Bradley Infantry Vehicles.

But before one judges the Army incapable of managing a new vehicle acquisition program, one must remember two things. First, OMFV is not dead; it is being rebooted. Second, the Army has several successful major vehicle acquisition programs underway. The most notable of these is the Joint Light Tactical Vehicle (JLTV). I have written more about this here.
