	NDM Article - Future Tactical Truck to Expedite Transportation
		With at least seven different types of trucks in the fleet today, the Army increasingly is burdened by the cost of operating, maintaining and modernizing those vehicles, officials said.
		Under a program called the Future Tactical Truck System, the Army will develop a multi-mode modular cargo vehicle, which will have two variants: a larger “maneuver sustainment” truck that will replace the current heavy and medium fleets, and a “utility” version that is the equivalent of a light truck.
		The goal is for the FTTS trucks to achieve a 60 percent reduction in resupply time, 50 percent more fuel efficiency, 25 percent greater mobility, 15 percent more survivability, as well as significant improvements in sensors and networked communications technologies.
