Common Tactical Truck (CTT) Industry Day
Industry Q&A
# Industry Question
Will there be more details on the survivability and armor package for the CTT?
Government Response
Yes. Classified Annex C is referenced in Attachment 0008 - Draft Abbreviated Specification (A-Spec), contains
more details on the survivability and is available upon request, with proper credentials; refer to the SAM.gov
for a point of contact.
16-Nov-2021
Will there be an estimate for number or percentage of CTT getting the armor/survivability
package? In past fleets (such as HEMTT or HET), only a percentage of the A-cab are upgraded to
the b-cab armor package. Wondering if the PM has gotten this far on the CTT.
No, a current estimate is not established; however, it is under development and is anticipated to be a split
between soft and armored cabs.
16-Nov-2021
Request a copy of the MRAP Capability Production Document (CPD) 1.1.
MRAP Capability Production Document (CPD) 1.1 is replaced by the CTT Annex C referenced in Attachment

Component level solutions will not be specified by the Government. However, other requirements, such as
intervehicle requirements, must still be met. The RPP will contain requirements that must be met. It is at the
offeror's discretion to decide if their solution meets those requirements.
16-Nov-2021
We can provide cab concepts ballistic and non-ballistic with 2 and 3 seats. Would that match or
do you require also 4 or 5 person seating capacity?

electric or other technology?
TBD. However, the CTT Family of Vehicles (FoV) is desired to be common with industry to facilitate future
technology insertion as they become available.
16-Nov-2021
Is there a replacement volume estimation per model and timeline of expected fleet entry and
fleet build-up?
No, not at this time.
16-Nov-2021

At this time there is no military track record requirement. Evaluation criteria will be listed in the Request for
Prototype Proposal (RPP).

Army's vision for prototype award?
The Government intends to receive a minimum number of prototypes that represent the most common
and/or range of CTT mission roles across the FoV. The RPP will contain the number of prototypes.
16-Nov-2021
What is the level of Tech Data Rights?
TBD. Additional information will be provided in the RPP.
16-Nov-2021
DISTRIBUTION STATEMENT A. Approved for public release: distribution unlimited.
# Industry Question
Is there a desire for an improved suspension, as referenced in Att 001

components it determines are needed to meet the requirements detailed in Attachment 0008 - Draft A-Spec.
16-Nov-2021
Is there still a desire / target fuel reduction (5-15% in RFI?)
Section 3.1.5 in Attachment 0008 - Draft A-Spec details the demand reduction desired characteristic.
16-Nov-2021
