Next Generation Medium Tactical Truck (NG-MTT) Research N00014-22-S-C007

The Next Generation Medium Tactical Truck (NG-MTT) research program is an ONR applied research and advanced technology development effort for the Advanced Ground and Amphibious Platforms S&T portfolio. The proposed topic will support research efforts to explore and exploit advanced as well as next generation technologies and concepts in the areas of platform architecture, hybrid/electrification, powertrain efficiency and intelligent mobility, amongst others, to inform the realm of the possible related to a notional follow-on to the current Marine Corps Medium Tactical Vehicle Replacement (MTVR). This follow-on platform, called the Next Generation-Medium Tactical Truck (NG-MTT), is envisioned to be a smaller, lighter, more transportable, fuel-efficient, highly mobile, safe, reliable, digitally enabled and flexible system. To address the demands of Force Design 2030, ONR is researching the benefits of a hybrid-electric system that can provide exportable power as well as be configurable, modular and adaptable for future upgrades and technology insertions. The goal of this research program is to push the state of the art to inform the requirements development process and to engage Industry and Academia early in the process.
