Some preliminary detail on the BAE/Navistar JLTV

BAE Systems and Navistar International intend to unveil a 16,000-pound Joint Light Tactical Vehicle prototype with a V-shaped hull, lightweight armor composites and changeable electronics at the end of February, company officials said.

Author Kris Osborn went on to report that the proposed JLTV will feature a modular design.

Taking a tip from the Rheinmetall prototype, hmm? Great idea if you can make it work. It's probably fair to say that the MaxxPro has a certain degree of modularity. Given the stringent requirements of JLTV program it shouldn't surprise at all if each of the competitors adopts that approach.
