Essay from the year 2017 in the subject Engineering – General, grade: -, IFBE Marburg, language: English, abstract: The JLTV is an inspiration from technical challenges experienced by the USA in the Iraq War. Mainly, it is an armoured vehicle that first emerged in 2007 and whose purpose was to improve on the existing vehicles used in the war at the time, the Humvees. The essence of military machine creation was to mute the weaknesses of the Humvees. Hence, it mainly revolved around being unarmored, especially against Improvised Explosive Devices and the challenge posed by their lack of capacity to undergo modification without affecting how effective they would be. A critical aspect to note is that Humvees were created in the mid-1980s at a time when there was little to no use of IEDs in warfare. Thus, the vehicles were not fitted with armour to counter such emerging trends of the 2000s.
