CERV (Clandestine Extended Range Vehicle) is a lightweight, diesel-electric hybrid prototype with a top speed of 130 km/h. Designed for reconnaissance, targeting and rescue missions, CERV also has silent run capability and is one of the Army’s “greenest” vehicles. CERV was developed in partnership with California-based Quantum Technologies. Quantum Fuel Systems Technologies Worldwide Inc. is developing and shipping diesel hybrid vehicles to the U.S. Army's Tank Automotive Research, Development and Engineering Center (TARDEC) National Automotive Center (NAC), with funding support through the U.S. Special Operations Command (USSOCOM), and project administration through Alion. The objective of this program is to develop a second-generation high-performance light-duty off-road hybrid electric vehicle based on the results and feedback from the U.S. Army's testing and evaluation of the Aggressor. In December 2009, this vehicle received flight certification on-board the Osprey V-22, and is currently the only hybrid drive vehicle to attain this certification. Pre-production prototypes are being developed and built for testing and evaluation by selected commands to assess mission suitability, supportability, performance objectives, and guidance on final vehicle configuration. The initial target mission would be related to special operations-type missions involving reconnaissance, surveillance, targeting, search and rescue, and also assist with field rescue operations.
