US Army requirement for medium tactical vehicles turns into developing family affair
Article Abstract:
The Family of Medium Tactical Vehicles (FMTV) produced by Stewart & Stevenson is the US Army's most reliable logistic platform, and hence the US has placed orders for 46,000 FMTV-family vehicles, the existing models of which provide higher Mean Miles Between Hardware Mission Failures (MMBHMF) and Operational Rates (OR) than expected. The company is also looking forward to expand the export of its FMTVs to the UK, Australia, Taiwan, Canada and Jordan.
