Report: JLTV program to go with diesel-electric power

I'm not going to pretend that the Pentagon is listening to me, but this decision seems wise on its face.

The U.S. Army has been successful with field tests of the new version of its diesel-electric HEMTT (Heavy Expanded Mobility Tactical Truck). Now it is proposing that the humvee replacement use the same power system.

Northrop Grumman/Oshkosh could have told the Army that. That JLTV partnership presented the Army with a prototype with just that sort of power system. Apparently it wasn't the power system that prevented their entry from successfully beating out BAE Systems/Navistar, General Tactical Vehicles or Lockheed Martin/Armor Holdings for one of the three development contracts.
