Summary:

Army trucks--part of the Family of Medium Tactical Vehicles--passed technical and operational tests, paving the way for the Army's August 1995 decision to approve full-rate production. Following contractor modifications to correct vehicle deficiencies found in earlier testing, the Army conducted (1) a limited follow-on technical test to determine whether the trucks could meet contractual reliability and performance requirements and (2) a full operational test to determine whether it could meet its operational reliability and other mission requirements when operated and maintained by soldiers. The trucks exceeded reliability requirements in both tests and met most performance requirements. However, many of the test vehicles had not been produced on the production line or had been retrofitted to correct past deficiencies. Also, the contractor pretested both the technical and operational test vehicles and corrected deficiencies before delivering them to the Army for testing.
