The Future Tactical Truck Systems (FTTS) was a U.S. Military program to replace the HMMWV. Work apparently stopped sometime between 2006–07 and 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.
