The BAE Systems Valanx was one of six competitors for a Joint Light Tactical Vehicle that will supplement the Humvee.[1] The Valanx featured lightweight advanced armour and a V-hull for crew protection.[2] It was developed with Navistar.

The Valanx was not selected for the Engineering and Manufacturing Development (EMD) phase of the program.[3]
