What is a unique aspect of the JLTV’s production process?

The unique aspect of the JLTV’s production process is its significant use of commercial technology. This approach allows for the integration of advanced innovations and efficiencies found in the civilian automotive sector, improving performance, reliability, and cost-effectiveness of the vehicle. By leveraging commercially available technologies, the JLTV can benefit from advancements that enhance its capabilities in a variety of operational environments. This results in a more modern and versatile vehicle that meets the needs of military operations while staying compatible with current automotive trends and practices.

In contrast, focusing exclusively on military technology would limit the JLTV's design and functionality to a narrower scope of innovations, which may not capitalize on the efficiencies and advancements available in the commercial sector. The idea of being exclusively hand-built by specialists would not be practical in terms of production volume and costs, and a focus on traditional manufacturing methods would inhibit the integration of more modern practices that enhance the vehicle's overall quality and efficiency.
