The International FTTS (Future Tactical Truck System) demonstrator UV (Utility Vehicle) is a technology demonstration vehicle designed by International Truck for evaluation by the US Army, who along with the US Marine Corps are hoping to replace the aging HMMWV as part of the Joint Light Tactical Vehicle program. It has undergone testing by 5th Brigade, 2nd Infantry Division and 14th Engineer Battalion at the Aberdeen Proving Grounds and Fort Lewis, along with Lockheed Martin's FTTS UV demonstrator and Armor Holdings' Maneuver Sustainment Vehicle.
