It is true that these layoffs are from the helicopter program. I live in Binghamton and this has been big news. Lockheed is one of I believe the top 3 employers in the area. My guess is that they do not need this large amount of new employees on the JLTV program.

The purpose of cutting the program was to save money because it was over budget. Congressman Hinchey has been meeting with officials attempting to show them that cutting the program will actual cost more than it will save and attempting to pursuade them to restore the program. Either was it has little to do with the JLTV program.

Also, last I remember hearing Torvec's products weren't even in the JLTV.
