electric Light Reconnaissance Vehicle (eLRV)

The Army has a requirement for an electric Light Reconnaissance Vehicle (eLRV) that will provide the Infantry Brigade Combat Teams (IBCTs) enhanced mobility, lethality, protection, mission load capacity, and onboard power for a six-Soldier Scout Squad with their associated equipment to conduct combinations of mounted and dismounted Reconnaissance and Security (R&S) missions. The eLRV will upgrade the mounted reconnaissance squad, platoon, and troop capability within the IBCTs to conduct R&S missions by providing six seats for the scout squad, reduction in acoustic / thermal signature, silent mobility, silent watch, increased dash speed, extended range, greater reliability, and reduction in Class III (Petroleum, Oil, and Lubricants (POL)) requirements over the current High Mobility Multipurpose Wheeled Vehicle platform. The eLRV will operate in conjunction with the Mobile Protected Firepower (MPF) and Infantry Squad Vehicle (ISV) platforms to enhance the lethality, mobility, and survivability of the IBCT. The eLRV will support the IBCTs ability to fight Cross-Domain Maneuver in Multi-Domain Operations (MDO) and is the first full system under the Tactical and Combat Vehicle electrification (TACV-e) initiative.
