Do you think the Army made the right choice for the JLTV production?

CPT (Join to see), I've personally seen all three proposed JLTV concepts between Oshkosh, Lockheed and AM General, but didn't have the oppurtunity to physically operate them and test them myself but I've read many different testing results and score charts and Oshkosh seems to be the best choice. There were rumbles of wrong doing on the behalf of the Army when they initially selected OshKosh but Lockheed dropped their protest after multiple reports of thier lesser performance and reliability standards when compared to OshKosh.

Why not the JERRV?

CW4 (Join to see) - By "covert" do you mean reusing the chassis within your shop or simply replacing MRAPs with Panthers? If so, that could help with cross-training and specificity in conveys.

We are actually converting them over using as many components as possible to make them exactly like the new production Panthers.

CW4 (Join to see) - That sounds like black magic to me. I don't know anything past the -10 TM for any military vehicle.
