Marine Corps to host industry day for MTVR technology demonstrator in January

The Marine Corps next month will host an industry day for its Medium Tactical Vehicle Replacement technology demonstrator, according to a recent notice.

A Dec. 18 Federal Business Opportunities notice states the service will convene with industry on Jan. 16 in Quantico, VA.

"The Request for Prototype Proposal (RPP) is seeking engineering services to develop a prototype MTVR TD system that will demonstrate potential upgrades to the MTVR TD while maintaining [the] current program’s operational requirements and fuel efficiency requirements," the notice reads.

Inside Defense previously reported about the Marine Corps' effort to seek information from industry about possible new technologies for the vehicle’s service life extension, which was pushed to 2042. The vehicle is a cargo truck built by Oshkosh.

"The inclusion of the upgraded technologies into the prototype MTVR TD will explore ways that will increase the service life of the MTVR to the year 2042 while increasing or optimizing crew survivability associated with roll-over protection, fuel efficiency, and maintainability of the platform while maintaining mobility, transportability, and mission effectiveness through quantification of the overall performance of the vehicle system against the original performance specification," the latest notice reads.
