Field Recovery and Maintenance Vehicle

The Field Recovery and Maintenance Vehicle (FRMV) is a maneuver sustainment system that provides support to vehicles on the battlefield of tomorrow. It is the recovery and maintenance system envisioned for employment within the Brigade Combat Team (BCT).

FRMV-based combat repair teams perform unscheduled field-level maintenance on FCS ground systems beyond the capabilities of the crew chief and crew and more in-depth battle damage assessment and repair (BDAR).

Each FRMV has a two-man or three-man crew and carries equipment and spare parts to conduct on-site vehicle repairs. The FRMV has an integrated crane and recovery winch for use in helping right overturned vehicles and recovering mired vehicles. The FRMV is capable of towing all FCS Manned Ground Vehicles, Armed Robotic Vehicles, and Multifunction Utility/Logistics and Equipment vehicles. It also supports all field maintenance tasks that require lifting, welding, cutting and heating.
