Abstract:

Three years ago, the Special Operations Forces SOF identified a shortfall in ground mobility that denied access to austere terrain. In response, United States Special Operations Command USSOCOM pursued the acquisition of a unique vehicle to address this capability gap. The culling and clarification of requirements, combined with a unique source selection approach, allowed USSOCOM to compress acquisition cycle time and expedite the acquisition of Ground Mobility Vehicle 1.1.
