GTV Completes Joint Light Tactical Vehicle Critical Design Review

STERLING HEIGHTS, Mich., Nov. 4 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- General Tactical
Vehicles (GTV), a joint venture between AM General, LLC, and General Dynamics
Land Systems, formed to compete to develop and produce the U.S. Army and U.S.
Marine Corps' Joint Light Tactical Vehicle (JLTV), successfully completed the
Critical Design Review (CDR) this week.

GTV is the first JLTV contractor to complete the CDR, a major program
milestone which entails a detailed review of the design solutions to the
multi-tiered customer requirements for the JLTV family of vehicles. GTV is
transitioning into the vehicle and trailer build and test phase for the JLTV
units deliverable to the government in the spring of 2010 under its technology
development contract awarded last October.

Using mature system engineering processes, GTV successfully demonstrated a
design approach that balances JLTV requirements and mission capabilities
focused on supporting and protecting the Warfighter. These mature and proven
processes ensure GTV's JLTV can meet government requirements with flexibility,
agility and confidence.

The GTV CDR follows the recent early delivery and successful government
testing of GTV JLTV armor coupons.

"GTV is committed to providing a highly reliable, survivable, mobile,
supportable and transportable JLTV that balances the protection, performance
and payload requirements for the Soldier and Marine customers," said Don Howe,
GTV program director. "I am confident that the GTV Team will deliver a JLTV
family of vehicles that provide our Warfighters more capability and
protection."

The GTV Team has more than 120 years of combined experience in the successful
design, production and support of over one million combat and tactical wheeled
vehicles. GTV offers the strength of a proven team.
