Inside the Valanx

What is the Valanx™? Quite simply: It is the most capable and survivable light armored vehicle in existence.

Warfighter-Centric Design
The Valanx is built around the needs of today’s troops, and that is exactly where the design of the vehicle began. BAE Systems and Navistar engineered the Valanx to create a vehicle with unmatched payload, protection and performance.

The Warfighter was the inspiration for the Valanx as human factors drove the design. The vehicle was built from the “inside out” using top-down systems engineering. The size provides agility of movement and comfort for troops, while still appearing small on the outside.

Flexibility and Commonality
The Valanx’s modular plug-and-play design ensures unmatched capability today and into the future. It meets all payload, protection and performance requirements of the JLTV program today.

The system will be compatible with current and future network architectures to ensure ease of supply chain process and maximize and maintain the value. Its modular design maximizes commonality across JLTV variants and enables the seamless integration of future technologies.

Ready Now
The majority of Valanx’s components are at TRL 7 (Technology Readiness Level), which means the team has demonstrated Valanx prototypes in an operational environment.

Commercial technology advancements were leveraged in the Valanx design. The design also facilitates the use of active protection and other advanced survivability solutions.
