As the lead service for the Joint Armored Wheeled System (JAWS), the Marine Corps used RDT&E, Navy funds to develop the system. JAWS is currently in production and several hundred units have been fielded. The Marine Corps purchased its units with the Marine Corps Procurement appropriation, while the Army purchased its units with its Weapons and Tracked Combat Vehicle Procurement, Army (W&TCV Procurement, Army) appropriation. A minor product improvement effort is underway to improve the reliability of JAWS. It will not increase the overall performance envelope of the JAWS systems and it will not require any testing. The modification kits required to incorporate this product improvement into fielded JAWS units effort should be funded with:
Marine Corps Procurement and W&TCV Procurement, Army
Research, Development, Test & Evaluation, Navy
Marine Corps Procurement only
Other Procurement, Navy
