FT. LAUDERDALE, Fla. – Lockheed Martin unveiled its second operational Joint Light Tactical Vehicle (JLTV) prototype at the Association of the U.S. Army (AUSA) winter symposium here Feb. 27, while BAE Systems and Navistar showed off their JLTV prototype.Less than snazzy with the big box piggybacked onto the rear half of the vehicle, though no doubt the performance of the vehicle weighs far more heavily than its aesthetics.

Lockheed Martin's earlier prototype,unveiled in late 2007, was the one that looks like a Humvee on steroids.

The Aviation Week story teases us with their report of the unveiling of the BAE Systems/Navistar JLTV prototype. With no flippin' photograph.
The best I can find at the moment is an unfamiliar low resolution pic at the Navistar Web site with the caption "JLTV Vlog Unveiling: Coming Feb. 28, 2008."

Update:
I should have given myself a few more minutes to search.
Navistar issued a press release including a superior photo to the one I clipped above.
FT. LAUDERDALE, Fla. (February 27, 2008) BAE Systems and teammate Navistar International Corporation today unveiled a fully-operational system the team will use for the competitive Joint Light Tactical Vehicle (JLTV) program. JLTV is the U.S. multi-service initiative for fielding a family of future light tactical vehicles.Click on the link above to get a look at the better photo.
"Our approach to the JLTV program is focused on the Warfighter," said Matt Riddle, vice president of Wheeled Vehicles at BAE Systems. "The BAE Systems-Navistar JLTV team has taken a warrior-centric design approach that provides the foundation for a future family of vehicles that will meet the Joint Services' light tactical vehicle requirements for decades to come."
