What is the primary purpose of the JLTV's survivability features?

The primary purpose of the JLTV's survivability features is to protect crew and passengers from threats. The Joint Light Tactical Vehicle is designed for military operations where personnel can be exposed to various hazards, including small arms fire, improvised explosive devices (IEDs), and other battlefield threats. The survivability features include armor plating, blast-resistant seating, and other protective measures that significantly enhance the safety of the occupants in high-risk situations.

By prioritizing crew protection, the JLTV ensures that military personnel can operate more effectively in hostile environments, thereby contributing to successful mission outcomes. The development and implementation of these survivability features reflect the military's commitment to safeguarding its members while maintaining mobility and operational capabilities on the battlefield.
