How the Humvee Compares to the New Oshkosh JLTV ( Joint Light Tactical Vehicle )

[@Military-TV]

Welcome to the Military TV comment section where everyone has a degree in Defense and Strategic Studies from West Point 😍

[@Knightfire66]

you didnt talk about integrated systems. does it have 360° cam? drive assistence? automated parking in to planes with the help of ai?

[@brokeandtired]

Impressive mobility my ass...Top Gear did a test on sand dunes...The Toyota Landcruiser and Land Rover climbed it easy....they Hummer failed miserably.

[@Buck123four]

@@brokeandtired JLTV can easily climb a 30% sand slope, with a 3,500 (4 seat) / 5,100 (2 seat) payload...fully armored. Soft soil mobility was one of the pass - fail requirements - it met them easily.

[@Buck123four]

@@Knightfire66 It has Front & rear camera, tinkering w/ 360 degree...but thats what the M1A1 eyeball is for.

[@user-bd5md5cm2j]

Ha ha ha.. I have no degree in defense strategic studies. I do own 2 humvees... 1 runs weak, the other runs extremely strong. Both 6.2. Oshkosh has been building trucks for along time. There concrete trucks are the top of the list. Great components. Run great. I think they knocked there rig out of the park. Remember DOD sets the perimeters ,not the manufacturer. There truck looks more correct than anyone else's. Great motor that has had tons of r&d for 20 years in the private sector. The motors are actually dialed down on these trucks. They can be turned up 3-400 horse if needed. The only thing the humvee really has over the new rigs is there lack of electrical systems. Very emp proof. If nukes are ever used, all the new systems will fail unless hardened. Most military equipment is not hardened.

[@chuckgraham1695]

I'll say this, the HUMVEE was an excellent vehicle for what it was designed for, did some of the initial testing at Ft. Knox waaaayyyyy back in 1984, (yes, I'm old) on what type of grease worked best, how it handled terrain and slopes, vision, mobility, speed, etc.... This was not the be all end all, I was a fresh private, just following what my superiors asked and was thrilled to be able to be the drive this newer vehicle. (The HEMTT was also being tested). Fast forward 25 years and I'm in Afghanistan looking at a flat bottomed, heavily up armored HUMVEE with a engine that was NEVER designed for that type of weight, and a little more situational awareness as an E7. Yeah, we put sand bags all over the flooring plates, added what we could to the outside, and did a ton of praying that no IED's would be found the "hard" way or RPG's/EFP's fired. The vehicle was never designed for these types of situations, which at the time of conception had not been encountered by the US military. This was in 2008. (Yes, I understand the military was looking/ordering/had MRAP variants in 07, but none for us at FOB Salerno at that time had them). Following year, 2009, we received the first round of the MRAP vehicles, (RG series I believe) with the V bottoms, come in the back or the gunners hatch, neither the driver/TC doors opened. Presented several issues on that alone, but the vehicle, memory serves, was from South Africa, or designed in that country. Saved my life, and that of 6 others when we took an IED in the face, took off the cowl all the way to the main frame and saved several in my Platoon as we took over 40 "hits" during that rotation. (Mine Clearance Platoon). Things evolve, that is the nature of man/war and the HUMVEE has outlived it's design. I did get to use this vehicle in 2011/12, (JLTV) or a variant, and while I did like the modular design, found the crew quarters lacking. (did not drive it). Sitting in the back, it's difficult to stay out the gunners way as he travers's, vision is not optimal, and you have no way to fire out any portal on the doors if in contact without opening the doors. I was not able to use the CROWS on this vehicle, so cannot comment on that. But, this is the future for now as it does offer a ton more protection for our troops, and that is what counts.

[@Soh90]

First of all, thank your for your service, that was a pretty cool story. Secondly, I agree that the HMMWV was a great vehicle that was unfortunately just being used beyond what it was designed to do. I joined the Marine Corps back in 2010 (only served one term) and back then the HMMWV's were already armored. They were incredibly slow but were still a very capable machine when it came to traversing difficult terrain. I never actually got a chance to play with any of the JLTV but they do seem pretty cool. I almost want to reenlist just to drive one haha!

The RG 31 was my baby in Afganistan. We ran 5 in our Route Clearance patrol. 4 out of 5 were hit by IEDs. 2 of them multiple times. The glory of that truck was out mechanics ability to get them from "blown up" to driving condition in 2 missions. I know Humvees will always be the icon for the Army, but those RGs saved our lives. More than once and I'll always remember them for that.

Gale holds multiple top speed records on the Bonneville Salt Flats with diesel and gasoline powered race cars and he still runs a speed shop albeit a much bigger and successful one. This is just an amazing real story of the military working with a civilian racer to make something so awesome. BTW: the power on this engine is low because it was detuned to run on bad/dirty diesel, you never know what you will get in a plastic jug somewhere in Afghanistan.

They (HMMWV) are gonna be around for a long time, given the slowness of the JLTV procurement. The Big Kahunas gotta buy their pet rocks first...systems like JLTV that can actually save lives are lower priority.

The biggest thing the Humvees missed was armour plating on the floor. A lot of units made up their own. Mind you go over a 500lb IED in an APC it’s academic.

[@tnwhiskey68]

I enjoy driving hmmwvs but they're pretty faulty and rough to ride in. They handle mud pretty well unless it has that bolt on armor kit then it was like driving an f250 with a go kart motor.

So two of these may or may not have been dragged raced down the runway of Al Asad back in early 2015. They were leaps ahead of the Humvee. I never wanted to get into a 7-Ton or Humvee ever again.

[@tomk3732]

Yeah making Humvee so heavy was not only huge strain on the engine but also whole suspension - this actually shows how well Humvee was designed that it did not disintegrate.

[@phalanx3803]

when it comes to the suppression its kind easy to figure out obviously its not gonna be leaf, air bag or coil. we can look at it another way it has to be completely independent, height adjustable and extremely rugged and a proven system. Hint its bean used on tanks it is used on some farm tractors and lots of agricultural trailers are starting to use it. if you still haven figured it out click read more. its hydro pneumatic

When tested this vehicle has one critical repair every 7500 miles. This compares with 1700 miles for a Humvee. The overall reliability is amazing. The Duramax is a Izuzu designed engine with incredible reliability and Banks modified.

How's the cabin space in one of these bad boys? It looks a little tight when compared to a humvee.

More ergonomic than a HMMWV. Way way more.

[@ditzydoo4378]

The HMMWV was a replacement for the last of the Military M-151 Mutt Jeeps and M-561 Gama-Goats. The first generation of the High Mobility Multipurpose Wheeled Vehicle (HMMWV) M998 were an absolute joy drive to use. But after Operation Just Cause in Panama 1989, and the Battle of Mogadishu in 1993. The higher ups were pushing for a HMMWV with some kind of ballistic protection. The first of these had a Kevlar blanket (spall liner) placed into the floor pan inside the crew area and later got bullet resistant glass in modified doors designated as the model XM-1114. This was fine since the frame and 6.2 diesel engine could handle the extra weight. However with the addition of heavy plate armor package and equipment the HMMWV became so overweight that the frame and engine were having a lot of trouble. That and the fact that the HMMWV was not Mine-Resistant lead to the creation of the Oshkosh (JLTV) M-1278. These two vehicel's are basically Apples and Oranges, one can not fairly compare the two.

[@anonymousanonymous9991]

So it is a better off-roader than the hmmwv, has more protection, hopefully isn't a shitbox, and is at least as fast if not faster in most situations. Seems like the perfect upgrade, what are all the arm-chair engineers complaining about?

[@Buck123four]

MUCH better in soft soil (a Key requirement); has "MRAP-like" protection; and can maintain road speeds with a 3,500 pound (4-seater) / 5,100 pound (2-seater) payload with armor installed while towing 11,000 pounds. // Some folks will complain if ya hung them with an OLD rope.
