L' M-ATV è stato pensato per missioni di pattugliamento, scorta ma soprattutto richiesto urgentemente per l'Afghanistan. L'equipaggio dell'M-ATV è di 4 posti mentre l' JLTV dovrebbe arrivare ad ospitare 6 operatori. In sostanza il JLTV è la vera evoluzione dell'HUMVEE.
Quota
The 27 April 2010, The General Tactical Vehicles (GTV) team of General Dynamics Land Systems and AM General delivered today seven Joint Light Tactical Vehicles (JLTVs), four trailers and supporting equipment ahead of schedule to the U.S. Army and U.S. Marine Corps for Technology Development (TD) phase testing. The TD phase includes a 12-month test and evaluation process at Aberdeen Proving Grounds, in Aberdeen, Md., and at the Yuma Proving Grounds in Yuma, Ariz. This follows GTV’s previous ahead-of-schedule deliveries of armor samples, ballistic hulls and spare parts.
Quota
In January 2009, Australia entered into a Land Force Capability Modernization Project Arrangement for the TD phase of the JLTV program, enabling tactical vehicle interoperability and integration between U.S. and Australian forces.

Armament
On this time, there is not specific armament mounted to the vehicle, but in the future the vehicle can be fitted with a 12,7 mm or 7,62 mm machine gun for his self-protection.
Protection
The JLTV design will include a basic armor protection package as well as provisions to accommodate an additional add-on armor kit. General Tactical Vehicles will locate in the Detroit metropolitan area to leverage the best of American automotive technology and military research and development to deliver the JLTV. General Tactical Vehicles applies proven technologies along with a modular design that will accommodate continuing advances in armor and vehicle systems. The innovative GTV JLTV design features a robust light-weight hybrid hull, semi-active suspension system, digital cockpit, and over 95 percent common components across the entire JLTV family of vehicles.
Propulsion
GTV’s offer for the JLTV maximizes survivability and optimizes power and payload. The approach focuses on commonality of systems and components along with modular armor, resulting in an innovative and agile vehicle system that will provide enhanced crew protection, increased cargo capacity and transportability. The JLTV General Dynamics is equipped with parallel arm adjustable height suspension to give the vehicle increased mine blast protection without jeopardizing air and sea transportability. The JLTV is motorized with a proven propulsion systems with a high horsepower-to-weight ratio to maximize payload, plus a driveline that gives the vehicle tough off-road capabilities.
Variants
The JLTV family of vehicles will comprise five “Mission Role” variants: the Combat Tactical Variant, the Command and Control Variant, the Utility Variant, the Light Infantry Squad Carrier Variant and the Reconnaissance Variant. The vehicle family will also include compatible trailers. Key deliverables under the JLTV TD contract include seven vehicles and four trailers representing the three mission role variants (infantry, general purpose, utility) comprising the JLTV Family of Vehicles; designs for each of 10 sub-configurations; and ballistic hulls and sample armor components for government testing.
