Joe Saballa January 28, 2022
The US Army’s Operational Testing and Evaluation (OT&E) arm has released its latest assessment regarding the service’s new Infantry Squad Vehicle (ISV) designed to support troops on long operations.
In a report published this month, OT&E explained that the lightweight vehicle is not operationally effective for deployment on combat and engagement, security cooperation, and deterrence missions.
It said that the 5,000-pound (2,267-kilogram) ISV is not suitable for various operations because of “poor” developmental test reliability and deficiencies in training, maintenance, safety, and human system integration.
