DESCRIPTION
The High Mobility Multipurpose Wheeled Vehicle (HMMWV) is a
lightweight, highly mobile, high-performance, diesel-powered four-wheel
drive, air-transportable and air-droppable family of tactical vehicles.
The HMMWV supports combat and combat service support units with
a versatile, mission-configurable, tactical wheeled vehicle.
The Army recognizes the tactical importance of the HMMWV fleet
and the enduring requirement to maintain a relevant, capable fleet to
support the Army enterprise. Congressional funding has enabled the
modernization of the National Guard and Reserve HMMWV fleets.
The National Guard and Reserve modernization program consists of
recapitalizing M1152A1 and M1165A1 Up-Armored HMMWV (UAH)
Shelter and Troop Carriers; converting M1151A1 UAH Armament
Carriers to M1167 UAH Tube-Launched, Optically Tracked, Wireless-
Guided Missile Carriers; and purchasing new M997A3 ambulances. The
recapitalization efforts involve a Public Private Partnership (PPP) between
AM General and the Red River Army Depot (RRAD). The M997A3
effort is a joint effort with the chassis built by AM General and furnished
to Rock Island Arsenal (RIA) for installation of an RIA-built box.
BENEFIT TO THE WARFIGHTER
Due to configurations for multiple mission types and roles, the
HMMWV is well-suited to meet the needs of Soldiers on the battlefield.
Its high power-to-weight ratio, high ground clearance and four-wheel
drive make it agile in the most difficult terrain.
