Lockheed Martin’s Joint Light Tactical Vehicle (JLTV) team are planning to produce about eight Production Representative Vehicles (PRVs) over the next few weeks.
The PRVs are being assembled to reduce technical risk, optimize the advanced production processes at the Camden assembly plant, and to exercise and prepare the supply chain, the company announced Tuesday.
"The first two of these PRVs are now in Dallas going through a series of tests to validate technical capability and performance," said Scott Greene, vice president of Ground Vehicles at Lockheed Martin Missiles and Fire Control.
"These PRVs are confirming that our processes work just as we knew they would," Greene said.
The Lockheed Martin Team's JLTV is a fully integrated combat tactical system that meets today's requirements and was designed with the future in mind. It offers MRAP levels of protection with unprecedented cross-country mobility, a substantial increase in performance and payload, as well as greater reliability, outstanding fuel efficiency, and lower operations and sustainment costs.
