Defence Minister Joel Fitzgibbon is expected to announce today that Defence will join the technology demonstration phase of the US Joint Light Tactical Vehicle (JLTV) program by which the Pentagon plans to replace more than 60,000 Humvee vehicles in the US army and marine corps from 2012.The story appears to suggest that Australia will fork over some of the money required to achieve a robust testing program. I see nothing concrete in the story that would confirm that the Australian government or Australian firms would contribute to the development of the JLTV via vehicle design and manufacture, at least during the development and testing phase.
