IRONCLAD PARTNERSHIP

At the core of the UK Land Mobility Programme competition, Lodestar Consulting is proud to support AM General in advancing the proven HUMVEE platform with a clear vision further reinforced by the IRONCLAD partnership with Marshall Land Systems.

The IRONCLAD Partnership

Together, AM General and Marshall Land Systems deliver a powerful blend of heritage, innovation, and in-country expertise ensuring the HUMVEE platform is supported, sustained, and continuously enhanced within the UK.

Aligned with the UK MOD’s Land Mobility Programme (LMP), modern defence forces face increasing pressure to enhance tactical mobility while minimising programme risk. IRONCLAD addresses these challenges by replacing ageing fleets with a combat-proven solution that delivers deployable, flexible capability, supports resilient supply chains, ensures NATO interoperability, and maximises fleet availability.

AM General's HUMVEE platform is deployed in over 70 countries, operated by 19 NATO members, with more than 350,000 vehicles produced and over 40 years of service, IRONCLAD provides immediate readiness without development risk, alongside long-term upgrade potential.

Operationally, the HUMVEE ensures high availability through a global sustainment network, backed by 24/7 logistics, rapid spare parts delivery, and deployed field service engineers. Its track record includes global sustained operations and major military exercises. Designed for seamless coalition integration, the HUMVEE platform enables shared logistics, common spare parts ecosystems, established training frameworks, and standardised procedures, reducing friction and increasing effectiveness in multinational operations.

Built to evolve in the UK
Through this transatlantic collaboration, the HUMVEE platform combines global expertise with sovereign capability through a strong transatlantic partnership and UK-based supply chains. This approach enhances resilience, supports skilled jobs, and ensures long-term operational independence, while delivering next-generation mobility, survivability, and digital integration aligned with future UK MOD requirements.
