Instead, it emphasizes onboard power generation and mission system support.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">According to a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gmdefensellc.com\/content\/dam\/company\/gm-defense\/docs\/pdf\/gmd_isv-heavy_lr.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"\">GM Defense factsheet<\/a>, the ISV-H is designed for \u201ca myriad of mission areas to include command and control, counter UAA, medical evacuation, loitering munition and drone deliver launch and recovery.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The hybrid-electric design also enables \u201csilent drive\u201d and \u201csilent watch\u201d modes, allowing for \u201cstealthy ingress and egress for high threat zones, while powering equipment needed.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The biggest change to the vehicle is its exportable power capability. In the solicitation, the Army said it wants the vehicle to generate and export 60 kW of continuous high-voltage DC power, 15 kW of 28V DC power and 4.8 kW of 120V AC power \u2014 effectively turning the ISV-H into a mobile energy source for small units in the field.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Despite its name, the ISV-Heavy is not an armored version of the original vehicle (though, it is \u201cadd-on armor capable\u201d). Instead, it is built on the commercial Chevrolet Silverado 3500 HD platform, with \u201cheavy\u201d referring to its heavier-duty chassis rather than added protection.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That change comes with tradeoffs. The ISV-H weighs roughly 9,000 pounds more than the original and carries fewer troops. Early mockups show configurations ranging from two to six seats, compared to the nine-seat capacity of the baseline ISV.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Army completed the first phase of the solicitation \u2014 collecting industry white papers \u2014 on April 13. Timelines for the remaining phases, including presentations and final proposals, have not been released.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>While the original ISV was designed to
