So what you are saying is they are not delivering any of the trucks that they are required to deliver. I was one of the Marines that did the first testing of the Hummer to me it was perfect up to the last two wars. Plus it also has been in service for 33 or more. My comment ment I would like to drive one that all.

[@dannykh22asirify]

@@WalterCarson they're delivering. The issue is the same as it was for their M-ATV. OPNET training has commenced for USMC at I MEF and II MEF but the inherent flaw with such a complex networked vehicle monitoring system will cause maintenance nightmares. I pray that they figure it out because the Marines need that capability more so in my opinion than the Army as Marines have been the tip of the spear for combat missions in the last two wars at the very least. We'll have to see how it all plays out. Good bless you for your service. The mishap at ft. Stewart doesn't give me high hopes though unfortunately. taskandpurpose.com/army-jltv-rollover-photo

Kind of jealous. What a big jump over the HMMWV (Hummer) I drove part of the time when I was off one of the line platoons in HQ & off of a tank as 1SG’s driver. The soft shelled Hummer didn’t really inspire confidence. This looks beautiful and capable. Hopefully they don’t go to crazy with digital systems. I still think analog systems and gauges have their place especially in harsh environments where technology often fails from durability issues. Hopefully an active protection system is in its future even though they are costly. However, active protection is vital in today’s theaters of asymmetric warfare & MOUT operations. Being able to defeat threats like chemical energy rockets from infantry and helicopters is necessary. We are behind Israel and Russia in this area which is just mind blowing. We definitely need to improve our systems for our armored vehicles.

@@NoName-nf5xl yes, kzbin.info/www/bejne/e57IZ3aChceti68 please see 9:07 where the complex engine is covered by a bullet shield so thin it flaps in the wind. I wouldn't field this vehicle yet without a proper bullet shield over the powerplant. From a reliability in usage standpoint, the engine looks very complex, keeping it running under combat conditions is going to be difficult. See all those little wires, they all mean something to the ECU's. All those hoses, easily penetrated by shrapnel and bullets. Bullets can come from above, like in cities with fire from above from buildings, when vehicles get disabled in narrow streets, the entire convoy is put at risk.

@@zio205iq2 Engines are replaceable, people aren't. Believe it or not the US Army knows a bit more about what is needed in their trucks than you do. If you want a vehicle that can carry troops and take heavy fire, you get an APC. Making the light vehicle into an APC makes it no longer a light vehicle. It isn't supposed to have an armoured powerplant, it's supposed to keep the people inside alive and drive them and some stuff around.

Weird, the only thing I can find on this "hunter" are Oshkosh MATVs and video game clips. Completely different from a JLTV for your information.

[@rileyxbell]

imagine if the AC breaks in the middle of the desert and you have to sit on the side with that hot exhaust

[@thistledewoutdoors3331]

You would think that Air or hydraulic suspension = Guaranteed failure at some point....??? Might as well drop in a gear vendors overdrive & get it up to 90+ mph !!!! ha

[@kennethalbert4653]

He said "air over hydraulic ". Hopefully there is some redundancy in cases of failure. It also appears to have air brakes...

[@nickizcool20]

I’m guessing it’s like the 7tons air suspension

The more electronics equals a recipe for more things to go wrong. The desert heat beats up on electronics not to mention heat from the vehicle itself. I saw one yesterday...looks cool tho.

[@sg3784]

Those vehicles have the L5P Duramax engines in them that were help developed by Gale Banks. The Duramax out performed the Cummins engine during initial testing phase, that’s why they went with Duramax.

[@mikemarcott4888]

The noisy transmission an engine reminds me of those old apc's we used to have during the Cold War

[@buildthings79]

No transmission in it. Or transfer case or drive shafts. Its diesel electric connected only by wires to motor packs in the front and rear driving each one separately. It also has the ability to power a small building or encampment. Has power plugs on it to feed electricity.
