Military Vehicle High Performance Capabilities Program
The purpose of the Military Vehicle High Performance Capabilities Program (MVHPC) is to link the U.S. Military to the Commercial High Performance Vehicle Industry’s (CHPVI) best practices, engineering expertise, relevant equipment, and testing technologies.
The CHPVI faces many of the same challenges as the U.S. Military in developing and operating wheeled vehicles. Vehicle safety, power trains, suspensions, braking systems, high-strength/low-weight materials, and fuel efficiency are just a few of the areas of vehicle design and performance faced by both military designers and their civilian counterparts from the motorsports industry.
The MVHPC Program will identify commercially available capabilities and technology solutions to meet U.S. Military tactical wheeled vehicle challenges and performance shortfalls for the benefit of the taxpayer, warfighter, and motorsports industry. This effort will evaluate lessons learned and technological solutions developed by the CHPVI that are potentially beneficial to the U.S. Military and make appropriate recommendations for potential integration into military vehicles.
