[QUOTE="Triton, post: 65335, member: 3324"] I think it would be very interesting if a topic was started for the United States Army, United States Special Operations Command (USSOC), and United States Marines Joint Light Tactical Vehicle (JLTV) program in the "Army Projects" section. If we can find concept artwork or information, it would be nice to document the following bids for the JLTV contract: * Boeing, Textron and Millenworks * General Dynamics and AM General (as 'General Tactical Vehicles') * Force Protection Inc and DRS Technologies (officially rejected on August 14, 2008). * BAE Systems and Navistar * Northrop Grumman, Oshkosh Truck and Plasan * Lockheed Martin, BAE Systems Mobility & Protection Systems, Alcoa Defense and JWF Industries. * Blackwater and Raytheon On 29 October 2008 the Pentagon narrowed the field of vendors to the Lockheed Martin, General Tactical Vehicles and BAE Systems/Navistar teams to compete for the final version and contract for the JLTV. Each team received contracts worth between $35.9 million and $45 million to begin the second phase of the program, which could ultimately be worth $20 billion or more. The contracts were put on hold following protests by the losing teams, Northrop Grumman-Oshkosh and Textron-Boeing-SAIC. On 17 February 2009, the Government Accounting Office denied the protests.
