AM General, U.S. manufacturer of tactical military vehicles and mobility systems, is displaying its JLTV A2 at the ongoing IDEX. Production of the JLTV A2 is already under way with initial deliveries beginning in the second quarter of 2025.
AM General associates at the show are eyeing international procurement opportunities of the vehicle via the Foreign Military Sales (FMS) process as well as ongoing support of existing A0 and A1 fleets.
“IDEX is a leading military exhibition which enables us to connect with our global customers and discuss how we can meet their evolving needs to support the Warfighter,” said John Chadbourne, AM General EVP – Chief Business Development Officer. “This year, we are proud to display the first AM General-built JLTV A2 asset so our customers can see, first-hand, the myriad improvements we’ve made to the platform."
AM General built a manufacturing facility from the ground up in under two years, where production has officially started on this next generation tactical vehicle.
The JLTV A2 has been designed in close collaboration with the US Army. AM General will implement over 250 engineering changes to vastly improve the vehicle for the end user. Key among the changes are the reduction of interior and exterior noise levels, improved corrosion protection, and improved fuel economy.
The vehicle's versatility and lethality come from the Hornet Air Guard Remote Controlled Weapon System (RCWS) with Counter-UAS capabilities. The system provides anti-drone detection and neutralization using air-burst ammunition and an independent drone detection ring, offering surveillance, firepower, and self-protection.
