BAE/Navistar JLTV Prototype Unveiled

Published February 29, 2008

Be sure to check out first impressions from the annual Association of the U.S. Army Winter Symposium on the unveiling of BAE Systems/Navistar's Joint Light Tactical Vehicle prototype.

Our friends at Aviation Week have an army of reporters down there (oh, darn...in Ft. Lauderdale in February) covering the latest in Army equipment. You all know I'm a big fan of the JLTV and I'm glad it was saved from the budgetary axe due to some sober minds prevailing over MRAP buys.

And be sure to check out the promotional video of the truck below...One criticism: why the flat undercarriage?
