Obsolescence Risk and Impact: JLTV

Ark.ai conducted a sustainment program analysis of the JLTV Joint Light Tactical Vehicle program, examining the vendors, their suppliers, manufacturers, shippers, and other members of the supply chain – as well as the critical parts and NiiNs the JLTV program relies on. The program analysis focuses particularly on obsolescence risk, including obsolete NiiNs, declining procurement, and sole sourced parts.

The analysis of the JLTV program resulted in the following statistics. There are 1,818 Parts with Declining Procurement and 361 Manufacturers with Declining Procurement. The count of Obsolete Parts is 4,243 and the JLTV program is dependent on 2,422 Sole Sourced Parts.

Information about the critical vendors for the JLTV program, as well as a list of the obsolete and sole sourced parts, are included in the following tables.
