DALLAS, Aug. 4, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- The Lockheed Martin
(NYSE: LMT) Joint Light Tactical Vehicle (JLTV) Team continues to
produce company-funded Production Representative Vehicles (PRVs) at
its Camden, Arkansas, production
facility.
The PRVs are being assembled to reduce technical risk, optimize
the advanced production processes at the Camden assembly plant, and to exercise and
prepare the supply chain.
"The first two of these PRVs are now in Dallas going through a series of tests to
validate technical capability and performance," said Scott Greene, vice president of Ground Vehicles
at Lockheed Martin Missiles and Fire Control. "Our goal is to
produce the best-value, most protected, most tactically effective
JLTV possible to help assure our soldiers and Marines complete
their missions and return safely."
The Lockheed Martin JLTV Team plans to produce as many as eight
PRVs over the next few weeks.
"These PRVs are confirming that our processes work just as we
knew they would," Greene said. "As a Malcolm Baldrige National
Quality Award winner for Manufacturing Excellence, we will leave
nothing to chance in the production of the JLTV."
The Lockheed Martin Team's JLTV is a fully integrated combat
tactical system that meets today's requirements and was designed
with the future in mind. It offers MRAP levels of protection with
unprecedented cross-country mobility, a substantial increase in
performance and payload, as well as greater reliability,
outstanding fuel efficiency, and lower operations and sustainment
costs.
