The CSV Project was cancelled and some design criteria were incorporated into the new High Mobility Multi-Purpose Vehicle (HMMWV) program. Teledyne Contiental Motors subsequently acquired the Cheetah design from MTI and used it as the basis for their XM-998 vehicle entry into the HMMWV competitiion. |
