Marine Corps Looks To Upgrade Humvee Fleet For $110K Each

摘要

The Marine Corps is aiming for a $110,000 cost target to upgrade its humvee fleet with the price tag including hardware and integration in production, according to Dec. 19 industry day presentation slides. A goal of the initiative is to improve the protective feature of humvees not replaced by the Joint Light Tactical Vehicle program. However, the slides note the humvee sustainment modification initiative is not an alternative to the JLTV program. Inside the Army reported last week that the Army plans to send a report to Congress in January detailing the service's efforts of reviewing humvee survivability designs submitted by industry. The evaluation is known as the Medium Expanded Capacity Vehicle-Survivability program. MECV-S is estimated to have a $180,000 price tag per vehicle.
