M1279 JLTV Utility (UTL)

The Oshkosh JLTV or Joint Light Tactical Vehicle is a newly developed Light Combat Tactical All-Terrain Vehicle, L-ATV, by the US military to replace the fleet of ageing HMMWV or HUMVEE utility vehicles. The JLTV’s main objective is to provide a higher level of protected mobility, in comparison to heavier M-RAP vehicles previously deployed in Iraq and Afghanistan, improving survivability in missions.

The M1279 JLTV Utility is the armed, transport version of the Joint Light Tactical Vehicle. The field artillery unit is also equipped with JLTV (UTL) vehicle to tow howitzers to fire support operations for a manoeuvre unit. The UTL version can also be suspension adjustable to lower the height of the vehicle to facilitate the loading and unloading of deployed ammunition.
