FINALLY JUST FINALLY!

It looks to me that this square frame in the cargo area, extending beyond the cabin's width, will act as a branch trap in forested areas, causing problems.

What's up with you americans and your monster trucks? This thing is a monster! The humvee was already a monster, but this thing is even more bestial!

They're badass. the one downside I can see is maintenance. Complexity and the need for high level training to effectively repair them will hinder their readiness. That's something that will improve over time though.

I live near the manufacture (Oskosh Defense) and I have seen them do field testing in our county dirt roads. I have also talked to one of the engineers who manufactures the fire repression system. Appears to be a nice vehicle and is a massive upgrade to our National Guard Humvvees. One of the test drivers also shops at my store and talks about the non-classified stuff.

Genial. By the way, what do you think soldiers will call the JLTV? I know "Humvee" is the nickname for the HMMW.... Will they call it the "Jilly"? "Jay Lee"? "TV"??

@@LiteralmenteUmaMulher jail tv

Precisely. I think the army still is ordering more humvees too. Hopefully, not armored

The humvee can go back to being what it was originally designed for. A backline utility vehicle. JLTV can take over the role of what the military has over asked the humvee to become the last few decades of a front lines tactical vehicle.

But already have Stryker and Bradley. Just make those faster or with extra armor.

I know right isn't it awesome? I love seeing him test things surprising how much progress and opportunities he gets

That's called "subscriber clout". They've built up enough clout that they can be taken seriously by, well, the military. When you have 100K-200K subscribers, larger businesses and organizations will start to take notice and consider your platform. You also become a better tool for marketing and PR. So the more T&P grows, the more opportunities like this become available.

I want to see him on the M1 Abrams later

Let's be real, he's one of those military equipment KZfaqr that doesn't use A.I voice and horrible scrip with wikipedia sourced information. He's making good one.

thanks! I'll be going to AUSA in DC in two weeks to get a first hand look at all the next generation defense technology for you guys. Its easier to stay at home but I need to try these things out to really understand them.

Damn!!!! the USA is truly the GREATEST country in the WORLD. I hope it survives its internal assault on democracy. Long live the U.S.A

Yup. CTIS was developed during WW2. Quite a capability.

@@Irondrone4 two words: legal weed. I LOVE Jersey 😎

@@billd9667 Can you smoke weed and carry a gun without a permit in new jersey?

@@TheAnnoyingBoss your point being? Dunno. You need a license to own most guns. The carrying part is apparently under review. I think it’s a bad idea. Most people are to dumb/foolish/insane to have a gun at all. Anyway, a stoned gun owner is probably a lot safer than a drunk gun owner, so there’s that.

Yeah. And they circled right back to that armored version and eliminated the ability to sling load it from a Blackhawk.

As a novice outsider to this area, it seems that air transport seems to be almost randomly attached to army requirements. And then never necessary! Was a humvee ever transported by a Blackhawk in Iraq or Afghanistan?

@@godofallthingsandall Don't know about US Army combat in Iraq or Afghanistan, but a similar zeal to ensure air transport slung under a heptr capability is displayed by Indian Army, although the terrain they intend to deploy this capability is in the Himalayas. So its kind of justified, I guess.

@@godofallthingsandall Yes. Humvees were sling loaded in Iraq and Afghan. But that was normally by chinook. KFOR would sling humvees from 60s though.

@@godofallthingsandall You betcha. EAT - external air transport - is critical for light units.

Oshkosh Truck Co. makes them...as well as about 85 - 90 % of the vehicles the US Army & USMC makes. They build good trucks, though occasionally some small problem arises. And some E4 or E5 high school dropout who fancies himself an automotive engineer makes genius-level recommendations...

I was expecting the video to said this video was sponsor by JLTVs.

I gotta call your team out though, on using a couple B-shot clips of an M-ATV with context like ya thought it was JLTV. :P

Honest question, what's up with the two deadlines this vehicle has had since it was rolled out for the marines? One for the electrical fires started inside of the fire suppression system and the other being the AC breaking down on almost all of our new shiny JLTVs, causing them to be deadlined. Also, who thought through the whole no airflow in the vehicle if the AC breaks down part? Asking for friend, not because it easily gets over 100 degrees in there in Hawaii or anything

@@iandoyle3695 because of NDA I can't really answer you much on specifics. What I can do though is any major issues on the vehicle is worked on between osk defense and the government. We want to fix and eliminate any problems as quickly and painless as possible just us much as y* err your friend* wants.

@@canadaarm3 they are so hard to tell apart haha I realized by the end of making this video that the only way to visually tell them apart sometimes to the untrained eye is the doors are shaped differently right? anyway thanks for making an outstanding product at Oskosh you all are doing great work keeping soldiers safe.

@@Taskandpurpose I was still confusing them after a year of working on them myself. 🤣 I look for the side mirrors. MATV has hood mounted mirrors, while JLTV has more conventional A-pillar mounted mirrors.

I worked in R&D for 32 years, and thankfully had a great mentor for 26 of those years. Anytime anybody (including upper management) strayed from the objective/mission, he would stand up in the meeting and yell "STOP THIS!.......What is the intent of this meeting?" He would then direct the people involved in the "stray discussion" to set up a separate meeting and resolve the issue, so the rest of us could stay focused on the task at hand. The guy knew how to prioritize resources.

@@fredsanford5954 Need more cowbell!

Needs to have a chromed chain steering wheel in that mode.

Reminds me of the APC in Aliens, that had a low profile for loading onto the Dropship, but was supposed to extend its suspension for off road.

slide into my DM's if you've got an armored vehicle of any kind

@@Taskandpurpose AFSC 11MX, so no armored vehicles, and I am in Jersey

You do know the F35 is a SINGLE seat light bomber.

@@peterjones4180 It's for the views

@@peterjones4180 I do and would be more accurately described as F/A-35

I think general amour is way more likely to be used then having a light door so you can open it if you sink the thing. Id rather take my chances trying to get out the turret then know for a fact the rpg that is coming is going to blow the door off that Im sitting next too.

They have air doors

I could not agree more. Heavy doors could be a detriment. As far as air assisted doors go.. that's all fine and dandy till you don't have any air. The one thing I see that still wasn't addressed was a flat bottom vehicle just like the HMMWV.

JLTV was tested on numerous "anti-rollover" scenarios. It passed. But - anyone can roll ANYTHING over if they try hard enuf. :)

I mean, that's pretty close when compared to an ICBM.

They should have just stick two M72 LAW to side of the HMG (rear safety considering of course) for quick and fast deal with armored targets. You don't need a TOW missile for close-combat when its minimum range is so long. If you can fire a M72 caliber rocket on quickly appearing threat accurately enough, it will give you time to reverse if needed.

It’s considered close combat because you are within line of sight of the target (the TOW is an optically tracked wire guided missile).

Thanks for clearing that up.

Came here to say this... Well done.

I'm just glad he didn't have an ad for Cars & Bids

WHERE'S THE DOUG SCORE!!???

Part of the test process is OPERATIONAL testing, by a unit that will recv the eqpt.

I'm just a civilian but I think there are a few factors here. As with any government agency they have to show accountability, openness furthers public trust. The cool factor of new weapons also helps to soften the blow of the cost.

"Cerealport" - gold...

Oshkosh defense engineer here. I was surprised too. Footage from below too. Video or pictures of the interior, suspension, and drivetrain seam to be rare.

How different is this to the matv capability and size? Cause in videos they look pretty much the same to me Jltv seems barely smaller

@@Ricossmft28 night and day differences. MRAP was a "oh crap we need to fix a problem ASAP" type solution to the IED problem in the middle east. JLTV is a well developed over an adequate time to establish the right goals of what's best needed, and how does a supplier provide the best solution. Followed by us at OSK defense ironing out any initial wrinkles the early vehicles might have had.

@@Ricossmft28 it is kinda a shame the JLTV and M-ATV look so big. The M-ATV is much larger, only comes in tan, has good mirrors, has backward opening rear doors, has a bumper seperate from the hood panel, and has two side steps instead of one. Those are the things I check to identify them differently.

@@canadaarm3 The DSDU screen even has a disclaimer and you have to push the ok button evertime you start it. Literally says you can tell no one what you have seen.

In Iraq we preferred the armored Hummer when in the cities. The MRAP had superior protection from deep blasts, but since the cities were mostly paved roads, we were not so worried about big buried IEDs. The MRAPs were nearly impossible to turn around if you could not drive through a road. MRAP requires a 25 point turn. Hummer is small enough to do 3 point turn and patrol continues on. Finally MRAP was too tall, gunners could shot inside of 10 meters.

@@Privat2840 Yeah, this whole bigger is better mentality among the procurement officers is retarded. The jeep was small and could literally go anywhere there was dirt or rocks. They decided to replace it with a vehicle literally 4x larger, then replace that with one even bigger. Massive vehicles are a total fail because war isn't fought in wide open plains anymore, it's in cities and if you can't get around the streets in your vehicle, then what's the point in having it.

@@Privat2840 i could see that would be a problem... Design flaw that is obvious. There are South African armoured vehicles that have been doing a better job for a long time and the soldiers are safe behind armour that can withstand most small arms and rifles up to nato rounds. 7.62 x 50mm. The Caspir also has a dedicated gun turret that can be remotely operated depends on the variant. These capable vehicles have been copied by many. But its cheaper just to buy them from RSA 🤣🤣🤣 kzfaq.info/get/bejne/nc95m9eItqqrpmw.html

The current american armoured vehicles are based on South African Anti mine armoured vehicles ( RG 31)

@@deka0014 You realize that inspectors mostly inspect work that's been completed by someone else, right? Finding skilled workers to assemble vehicles is probably going to be the least of your problems if you're trying to replicate the JLTV.

Were you at Bliss? I also tested a couple vehicles. Honestly tho it’s like the Army is playing catch up. They should of had this shit in Iraq and Afghanistan 8 years ago. The next conflict these things will be melted like Swiss cheese by BMP-3s… fucked either way

@@zaab-yaoh9302 yeah I was, 1-35AR 2-1AD and they are absolutely I mean all the matvs and maxxpros we had were equipped with everything this has and that was in 2012 the army has always been slow to adapt though

@@zaab-yaoh9302 .....So when are they going too be facing all these BMP-3s?? We have around 10,000 Bradley's and Strykers for that.

@@tommygun5038 army is discontinuing the Bradley and the replacement numbers will be vastly smaller than any peer adversary. Willing to bet half those Bradley’s aren’t event fully functioning, if you actually served on one you might have some idea.

Thinking the same thing, all those toys just seem like more things that can go wrong. I can imagine a row of jltv waiting on parts

There was a lot of design effort put towards ease of repair and maintence, as well as reducing the number of spare parts needed to be kept in storage for replacement.

As far as engine/transmission, it's off the shelf Chevy Duramax and Allison parts

Friends say it spends a fair amount of time in the motor pool not to mention the fires.

The US military is designed to cost as much as possible to swap money from taxes to the elite so its not a surprise

the way some people drive and park, I think they should keep the armour in the civilian version!

Wait for Arnold Swarzenegger to beg for it in Congress

DSDU error codes does not replace physical inspection. You still need to look for leaks, things rubbing that shouldn't be, etc.

I heard a chuckle that sounded suspiciously like something from Beavis and Buthead. Looked around but I was alone in the room... Nope, never going to grow up...

Has been there about 90years w/ the same name.

Should Stryker and Bradley be able to handle more armor? This new truck seems redundant

@@MbisonBalrog Strikers and Bradleys can't do convoy escort duty. I ran combat logistic convoys in Afghanistan and it would have been highly impractical to retask either of those vehicles to convoy security.

@@oldmandice2731 but why convoy route should be clear of danger so Humvee can do it

@@MbisonBalrog Negative, Humvees weren't even aloud outside the wire due to their vulnerability to IED's. Gun Trucks have built in measures to deflect explosive blasts. My truck got hit twice and no one had a serious injury but if we had been in a Humvee we'd have all been dead.

@@oldmandice2731 wait if convoy is headed into enemy turf isn’t that exactly what tracked and wheeled vehicles like Stryker or Bradley for? To be mobile and lighter than tank to save ⛽️.

We forgot what light infantry is. Try chasing a dude in flip flops with 2 AK mags over a wall when you are carrying a 85 pound combat load. Sometimes less is more.

@@MrScribblypoo Now they issue flip flops? Man, I really missed out!

You know that he isn't the owner right

Probably gets 5 miles per gallon

Had the same idea. Problem is they are not designed for the civilian market; they don't have smog stuff on them. So, getting your hands on a new one is out of the question and probably not even a surplus one for street use.

The humvee wasn't exactly a reliability king itself.

Damn!!!! the USA is truly the GREATEST country in the WORLD. I hope it survives its internal assault on democracy. Long live the U.S.A

@@galactictomato1434 it is now and the JLTV is not even better

The maintenance is kind of ass because they break easily if not operated correctly like adjusting suspension

These things are going to be a maintenance nightmare to start you can mess the computer up if you don't start the vehicle correctly. You can put it in a combat mode and bypass everything if you absolutely have to but if you keep doing that over an extended period of time you'll ruin the vehicle doing that. Having said that eventually the army will figure it out and adapt as they've always done. My biggest criticism is the average army mechanic needs a contractor do extensive repairs to the vehicle unlike the humvee.

Wait the Army dont even to borrow some LAV from marines for Somalia mission?

If it makes you feel any better a .50 would've gone right through the LAVs of the era.

@@joshblock4180 as long as it was proof against 7.62x39 AK ammo, it would have been a huge improvement over what we had.

Payload, Performance, and Protection were three variables the vehicle faced. They did a great job of providing MRAP-like protection on a vehicle that can run circles around any HMMWV on or off-road. And can tow 11,000 pounds, provide 10K of on-board and 10K exportable power, etc.

Been following these things for years; that was the first thing that made my ears stand up when I heard Banks.

Humvee was dependable. Even our battle worn one in Iraq kept going.
