Proposal: Updated Vehicles

[Desert Mariner]

The following vehicles are based on the LMTV and M-ATV families of US military vehicles and are envisioned to replace the Hummer and Commando series vehicles. Feedback/comments are highly encouraged.

The Morrow Logistics Vehicles (MLV) and Morrow Tactical Vehicles (MTV) are built on a common chassis and vary by payload (2.27- to 8-metric tons) and mission profile. These multi-purpose vehicles are capable of operating worldwide on primary and secondary roads, as well as on trails and cross-country in weather extremes from -46°C (-50°F) to 49°C (+120°F). The vehicles feature a parts commonality of more than 80 percent, resulting in streamlined maintenance, training, and sustainment.

Standard features/equipment includes:
--200kV fusion power plant
--Drive motors (1 per wheel) - 3-phase, 6-pole AC internal permanent-magnet motor producing 192 kW (258 hp) and 429 Nm (317 lbf-ft) of torque (≈70kg each) [equivalent to Tesla Model S motor]
--Electronic Central Tire Inflation System provides on-the-fly adjustment with three (3) payload and four (4) terrain settings. System enables the vehicle to travel at least 48km at 48km/h even if two tires lose pressure.
--395/85R20XML All Terrain Run Flat Tires (including spare)
--Environmentally controlled crew capsule
--Ceramic composite armor system provides protection from Explosively Formed Penetrators (EFPs) and Rocket Propelled Grenades (RPGs)
--V-shaped hull designed to channel IED and mine blasts away from the vehicle
--Self-recovery winch capable of fore and aft recovery operations. Winch has 94m of 12.7mm cable capable of 7031kg bare drum pull at 110% overload
--Independent suspension system with 40.6cm of independent wheel travel
--Towing eyes, two (2) front, two (2) rear
--Pintle vertical load 250kg
--Fire suppression system – automatic and manual modes
--Interactive electronic operation and maintenance manuals integrated into an automated system diagnostic system
--C4 systems include: AutoNav, GPS, HF, VHF, UHF, SATCOM and vehicle intercoms; Centralized computers with smart displays allow data sharing between systems and other MLV/MTV, Counter Radio Electronic Warfare systems, Visible light and IR camera systems provide 360° coverage around the vehicle
--Infrared driving lights
--Bows and tarp kit (open bed MLV and trailers)
--Ladder stowed on the vehicle when not in use provides assistance to persons climbing in or out of the cargo bed area (open bed MLV)

Optional armament:
--Cab top, ring mounted, shielded gunners turret (M2, M240, Mk19, TOW)
