GVSC successfully validated a new engine starting aid system for the Family of Medium Tactical Vehicles, replacing a legacy component with a modern solution from a new vendor. The system proved its reliability during an arctic cold-chamber startup test at our world-class Power Energy Vehicle Environmental Laboratory, confirming performance in extreme conditions.

With validation complete, the upgrade will move forward via an Engineering Change Proposal—strengthening cold-weather readiness across the fleet. This effort reflects how GVSC investments stay aligned with the Army’s warfighting strategy, ensuring every dollar directly supports future force readiness and operational overmatch.
