The Future Tactical Truck Systems (FTTS) was a U.S. Military program to replace the HMMWV. Work apparently stopped sometime between 2006-07 and work never resumed. Elements of FTTS were used in the Joint Light Tactical Vehicle program.
History
To evaluate possible future truck systems and designs, the U.S. Army's Tank-automotive and Armaments Command refereed the Future Tactical Truck Systems - Advanced Concepts and Technology Demonstration (ACTD) program. Navistar International and Lockheed Martin's proposals, the International FTTS and Lockheed FTTS Utility Vehicles were selected, as well as the Armor Holdings proposal for the MSV.[1] In August 2006 they were tested at the Aberdeen Proving Grounds. Following this evaluation they were parked in The Pentagon courtyard for evaluation by higher ranking military officials.

International truck
International Truck's proposal for FTTS utilized a Parallel Hybrid Drivetrain. It has undergone testing by 5th Brigade, 2nd Infantry Division and 14th Engineer Battalion at the Aberdeen Proving Grounds and Fort Lewis, along with Lockheed Martin's design and Armor Holdings' Maneuver Sustainment Vehicle.[2][3]
- Parallel Hybrid Drivetrain, capable of 387 hp (289 kW) peak power and 564 ft·lbf (766 Nm) peak torque[4]
- Range selectable transfer case with locking differential, locking front and rear axles, portal hub
- 360 degree weapons ring mount[5]
- Silent running capability using electric motor
- Height adjustable suspension
- Run flat tires
- Approach Angle: 80°
- Departure Angle: 40.4-47.7°
- C4ISR / COE Compliant
- Provisions for: JTRS / SINCGARS / EPLRS / MTS-2012
