= Solution

Differentiating the explicit <characteristic flow map> gives the block triangular <Jacobian matrix>
$$
\frac{\partial(X,V)}{\partial(x,v)}=
\begin{pmatrix}I_3&(e^t-1)I_3\\0&e^tI_3\end{pmatrix}.
$$
Its <Jacobian determinant> is the product of its diagonal block <determinants>. Therefore
$$
\boxed{J(t,x,v)=e^{3t}}.
$$
