US Army eyes a heavier, hybrid-powered Infantry Squad Vehicle

While the original ISV was designed to rapidly move a nine-soldier squad across rugged terrain, the ISV-H is built to do more than just transport troops.

US looking at a comfortable ISV.

Looks a lot like one of our LUV candidates.

A Milverado 3500 HD hybrid with lots of exportable power.

The LUV Is a different program. It was conceived shortly after the ISV adoption.

They have both conventional and hybrid options, as there are several concerns about hybrid batteries in military vehicles

As @Furniture notes above it’s basically the CUCV, 5/4 type setup. Stuff the Colorado ZR2 frame isn’t suited for. As well as a much better platform for motorizing folks in northern climates that the open design of the ISV isn’t ideal for.

While there are closed cab designs for the ISV they drop the personnel carriage to 4 or less.
