Humvee

The High Mobility Multipurpose Wheeled Vehicle (HMMWV; colloquial: Humvee) is a family of light, four-wheel drive, military trucks and utility vehicles produced by AM General.[10] It has largely supplanted the roles previously performed by the original jeep, and others such as the Vietnam War-era M151 jeep, the M561 "Gama Goat", their M718A1 and M792 ambulance versions, the Commercial Utility Cargo Vehicle, and other light trucks. Primarily used by the United States military, it is also used by numerous other countries and organizations and even in civilian adaptations. The Humvee saw widespread use in the Gulf War of 1991, where it navigated the treacherous desert terrain; this usage helped to inspire civilian Hummer versions. The vehicle's original unarmored design was later seen to be inadequate. The vehicle was found to be particularly vulnerable to improvised explosive devices in the Iraq War. The U.S. hastily up-armored select models and replaced front-line units with the MRAP. The U.S. military sought to replace the vehicle in front-line service under the Joint Light Tactical Vehicle (JLTV) program. In 2015 the Oshkosh L-ATV was selected for production.

History

Since the World War II Willys MB reconnaissance truck was used for mass-deployment and became known as the "jeep", the United States military had continued to rely heavily on jeeps as general utility vehicles and as a mass-transport for soldiers in small groups. Although the U.S. Army had let Ford redesign the jeep from the ground up during the 1950s, and the resulting M151 jeep incorporated significant innovations, it firmly adhered to the original concept: a very compact, light enough to manhandle, low profile vehicle, with a folding windshield, that a layman could barely distinguish from the preceding Willys jeeps. The jeeps were shorter than a Volkswagen Beetle and weighed just over one metric ton, seating three to four, with an 800 lb (360 kg) payload. During and after the war, the very light, 14-ton jeeps were complemented by the 34-ton Dodge WC and Korean War Dodge M37 models.

By the mid-1960s, the U.S. military felt a need to reevaluate their aging light vehicle fleet.[11] For starters, from the mid-1960s, the U.S. Army had tried to modernize, through replacing the larger, purpose-built Dodge M37s by militarized, "commercial off the shelf" (COTS) 4×4 trucks — initially the M715 Jeep trucks, succeeded in the later 1970s by several "CUCV" adapted commercial pickup series, but these did not satisfy newer requirements either. What was wanted was a truly versatile light military truck, that could replace multiple outdated vehicles. When becoming aware of the U.S. Army's desire for a versatile new light weapons carrier/reconnaissance vehicle, as early as 1969 FMC Corporation started development on their XR311 prototype and offered it for testing in 1970.[11] At least a dozen of these were built for testing under the High Mobility Combat Vehicle, or HMCV program, initially much more as an enhanced capability successor to the M151 jeep, than as a general-purpose vehicle. In 1977, Lamborghini developed the Cheetah model in an attempt to meet the Army contract specifications.

In 1979, the U.S. Army drafted final specifications for a High Mobility Multipurpose Wheeled Vehicle (HMMWV), which was to replace all the tactical vehicles in the 1/4-ton to 5/4-ton range,[12] namely the M151 quarter-ton jeeps, M561 Gama Goats, and the CUCVs, as one uniform "jack-of-all-trades" light tactical vehicle series, to better perform the roles of the impractically mixed fleet of outdated existing vehicles.[5][unreliable source?] The specification called for excellent on and off-road performance, the ability to carry a large payload, and improved survivability against indirect fire.[13] Compared to the jeep, it was larger and had a much wider track, with a 16 in (410 mm) ground clearance, double that of most sport-utility vehicles. The new truck was to climb a 60 percent incline and traverse a 40 percent slope. The air intake was to be mounted flush on top of the right fender (or to be raised on a stovepipe to roof level to ford) 5 ft (1.5 m) of water[14] and electronics waterproofed to drive through 2.5 ft (0.76 m) of water were specified. The radiator was to be mounted high, sloping over the engine on a forward-hinged hood.

Out of 61 companies that showed interest, only three submitted prototypes.[13] In July 1979, AM General, a subsidiary of American Motors Corporation, began preliminary design work. Less than a year later, the prototype was in testing. Chrysler Defense and Teledyne Continental also produced competing designs. In June 1981, the Army awarded AM General a contract for the development of several more prototype vehicles to be delivered to the government for another series of tests. The original M998 A0 series had a curb weight of 5,200 lb (2,400 kg), a payload of 2,500 lb (1,100 kg), a 6.2 L (380 cu in) V8 diesel engine and 6.3 L gasoline, and a three-speed automatic transmission.

The three companies were chosen to design and build eleven HMMWV prototypes; the vehicles were subjected to over 600,000 miles in trials which included off-road courses in desert and arctic conditions. AM General was awarded an initial contract in 1983 for 2,334 vehicles, the first batch of a five-year contract that would see 55,000 vehicles delivered to the U.S. military, including 39,000 vehicles for the Army; 72,000 vehicles had been delivered to the U.S. and foreign customers by the Persian Gulf War of 1991, and 100,000 had been delivered by the Humvee's 10th anniversary in 1995.[5] Ft. Lewis, Washington, and the 2nd Battalion, 47th Infantry, 9th Infantry Division was the testing unit to employ HMMWV in the new concept of a motorized division. Yakima Training Center in Yakima, Washington, was the main testing grounds for HMMWVs from 1985 through December 1991, when the motorized concept was abandoned and the division inactivated.

Use in combat

HMMWVs first saw combat in Operation Just Cause, the U.S. invasion of Panama in 1989. The HMMWV was designed primarily for personnel and light cargo transport behind front lines, not as a front line fighting vehicle. Like the previous jeep, the basic HMMWV has no armor or protection against chemical, biological, radiological, or nuclear threats. Nevertheless, losses were relatively low in conventional operations, such as the Gulf War. Vehicles and crews suffered considerable damage and losses during the Battle of Mogadishu in 1993 because of the nature of urban engagement. However, the chassis survivability allowed the majority of those crews to return to safety, though the HMMWV was never designed to offer protection against intense small arms fire, much less machine guns and rocket-propelled grenades. With the rise of asymmetric warfare and low-intensity conflicts, the HMMWV was pressed into service in urban combat roles for which it was not originally intended.[15]

After Operation Restore Hope in Somalia, the military recognized a need for a more protected HMMWV and AM General developed the M1114, an armored HMMWV to withstand small arms fire. The M1114 has been in production since 1996, seeing limited use in the Balkans before deployment to the Middle East. This design is superior to the M998 with a larger, more powerful turbocharged engine, air conditioning, and a strengthened suspension system. More importantly, it boasts a fully armored passenger area protected by hardened steel and bullet-resistant glass. With the increase in direct attacks and asymmetric warfare in Iraq, AM General diverted the majority of its manufacturing power to producing these vehicles.

Humvees were sent into Afghanistan following the 9/11 terrorist attacks, where they proved invaluable during initial operations. In the early years before IEDs became prevalent, the vehicle was liked by troops for its ability to access rough, mountainous terrain. Some soldiers would remove features from Humvees, including what little armor it had and sometimes even entire doors, to make them lighter and more maneuverable for off-road conditions and to increase visibility. With the onset of the Iraq War, Humvees proved very vulnerable to IEDs; in the first four months of 2006, 67 U.S. troops died in Humvees. To increase protection, the U.S. military hastily added armor kits to the vehicles. Although this somewhat improved survivability, bolting on armor made the Humvee an "ungainly beast", increasing weight and putting a strain on the chassis, which led to unreliability. Armored doors that weighed hundreds of pounds were difficult for troops to open, and the newly armored turret made Humvees top-heavy and increased the danger of rollovers. The U.S. Marine Corps decided to start replacing Humvees in combat with Mine-Resistant, Ambush-Protected (MRAP) vehicles in 2007, and the U.S. Army stated that the vehicle was "no longer feasible for combat" in 2012.[5][13] However, Humvees have also been used by Taliban insurgents for suicide bombings against the Afghan National Security Forces in the country.[16][17][18]

The HMMWV has become the vehicular backbone of U.S. forces around the world. Over 10,000 HMMWVs were employed by coalition forces during the Iraq War.[19] The Humvee has been described as a vehicle with "the right capability for its era": designed to provide payload mobility in protected (safe) areas. However, deploying the vehicle to conflict zones where it was exposed to a full spectrum of threat which it was neither designed to operate, or be survivable in, led to adding protection at the cost of mobility and payload.[5]

On 22 April 2022, Pentagon Press Secretary John F. Kirby described a package of military equipment being transported to Ukraine to assist in its war with Russia, including "100 armored Humvee vehicles".[20] An additional 50 were promised on 19 August 2022.[21]

Modifications

In December 2004, Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld came under criticism from U.S. troops and their families for not providing better-equipped HMMWVs.[22] Rumsfeld pointed out that, before the war, armor kits were produced only in small numbers per year. As the role of American forces in Iraq changed from fighting the Iraqi Army to suppressing the insurgency, more armor kits were being manufactured, though perhaps not as fast as production facilities were capable. Even more advanced kits were also being developed. While these kits are much more effective against all types of attacks, they weigh from 1,500 to 2,200 lb (680 to 1,000 kg) and have some of the same drawbacks as the improvised armor.[23] Unlike similar-sized civilian cargo and tow trucks, which typically have dual rear wheels to reduce sway, the HMMWV has single rear wheels because of its independent rear suspension coupled with the body design.

Most up-armored HMMWVs hold up well against lateral attacks when the blast is distributed in all different directions but offer little protection from a mine blast below the truck, such as buried IEDs and land mines. Explosively formed penetrators (EFPs) can also defeat the armor kits, causing casualties.

The armor kits fielded include the Armor Survivability Kit (ASK), FRAG 5, FRAG 6, as well as upgrade kits to the M1151.[24][25] The ASK was the first fielded in October 2003, adding about 1,000 pounds (450 kg) to the weight of the vehicle.[26] Armor Holdings fielded an even lighter kit, adding only 750 pounds (340 kg) to the vehicle's weight.[27] The Marine Armor Kit (MAK), fielded in January 2005, offers more protection than the M1114 but also increases weight.[28] The FRAG 5 offered even more protection but was still inadequate to stop EFP attacks.[29] The FRAG 6 kit is designed to do just that, however its increased protection adds over 1,000 lb (450 kg) the vehicle over the FRAG 5 kit, and the width is increased by 2 feet (61 cm). The doors may also require a mechanical assist device to open and close.[30]

Another drawback of the up-armored HMMWVs occurs during an accident or attack, when the heavily armored doors tend to jam shut, trapping the troops inside.[31] As a result, the U.S. Army Aviation and Missile Research, Development, and Engineering Center developed the Humvee Crew Extraction D-ring in 2006. The D-ring hooks on the door of the HMMWV so that another vehicle can rip the door off with a tow strap, chain, or cable to free the troops inside.[32][33] The D-ring was later recognized as one of the top 10 greatest Army inventions of 2006.[34] In addition, Vehicle Emergency Escape (VEE) windows, developed by BAE Systems, were fielded for use on the M1114 up-armored HMMWV, with 1,000 kits ordered.[35]

The soldier manning the exposed crew-served weapon on top of the vehicle is extremely vulnerable. In response, many HMMWVs have been fitted with basic gun shields or turrets, as was the case with M113 APCs after they were first deployed in Vietnam. The U.S. military is currently evaluating a new form of protection, developed by BAE Systems as well as systems designed by the Army, which are already in theater.[36] The new gunner's seat is protected by 1.5 to 2 feet (46 to 61 cm) high steel plates with bullet-proof glass windows. Additionally, some HMMWVs have been fitted with a remotely operated CROWS weapon station, which slaves the machine gun to controls in the back seat so it can be fired without exposing the crew. The Boomerang anti-sniper system was also fielded by some HMMWVs in Iraq to immediately give troops the location of insurgents firing on them.

Another weakness for the HMMWV has proven to be its size, which limited its deployment in Afghanistan because it is too wide for the smallest roads and too large for many forms of air transport compared to jeeps or Land Rover-sized vehicles (which are, respectively, 24 and 15 inches narrower). This size also limits the ability of the vehicle to be manhandled out of situations.

Alternatives

The Army purchased a purpose-built armored car, the M1117 Armored Security Vehicle also known as an armored personnel carrying vehicle (APC), in limited numbers for use by the United States Army Military Police Corps. In 2007, the Marine Corps announced an intention to replace all HMMWVs in Iraq with MRAPs because of high loss rates and issued contracts for the purchase of several thousand of these vehicles, which include the International MaxxPro, the BAE OMC RG-31, the BAE RG-33 and Caiman, and the Force Protection Cougar,[37][38][39][40][41] which were deployed primarily for mine clearing duties. Heavier models of infantry mobility vehicles (IMV) can also be used for patrol vehicles.[42] The MaxxPro Line has been shown to have the highest rate of vehicle rollover accidents because of its very high center of gravity and immense weight.

Replacement and future

The Humvee replacement process undertaken by the U.S. military focused on interim replacement with MRAPs and long-term replacement with the Joint Light Tactical Vehicle (JLTV). The HMMWV has evolved several times since its introduction and was used in tactical roles for which it was never originally intended. The military pursued several initiatives to replace it, both in the short and long terms. The short-term replacement efforts utilized commercial off-the-shelf vehicles as part of the Mine Resistant Ambush Protected (MRAP) program. These vehicles were procured to replace Humvees in combat theaters. The long-term replacement for the Humvee is the JLTV which is designed from the ground up. The Future Tactical Truck System (FTTS) program was initiated to analyze potential requirements for a Humvee replacement. Various prototype vehicles such as the MillenWorks Light Utility Vehicle, and the ULTRA AP have been constructed as part of these efforts. The JLTV contract was awarded to Oshkosh in August 2015.[43]

The U.S. Marine Corps issued a request for proposals in 2013 for its Humvee sustainment modification initiative to upgrade 6,700 expanded capacity vehicles (ECVs). The Marines plan to field the JLTV but do not have enough funding to completely replace all Humvees, so they decided to continue sustaining their fleet. Key areas of improvement include upgrades to the suspension to reduce the amount of force transferred to the chassis, upgrading the engine and transmission for better fuel efficiency, enhancements to the cooling system to prevent overheating, a central tire inflation system to improve off-road mobility and ride quality, and increased underbody survivability. Testing of upgraded Humvees was to occur in 2014, with production and installation occurring from 2015 through 2018. Older A2 series Humvees make up half the current fleet, and 4,000 are to be disposed of through foreign military sales and transfers. By 2017, the Marines' light tactical vehicle fleet is to consist of 3,500 A2 series Humvees, 9,500 ECV Humvees, and 5,000 JLTVs, with 18,000 vehicles in total. Humvees in service with the Marine Corps will be upgraded through 2030.[44] The Marines shelved the Humvee modernization effort in March 2015 because of budget cuts.[45]

Several companies are offering modifications to maintain the remaining U.S. military Humvee fleets. Oshkosh Corporation is offering Humvee upgrades to the Marine Corps in addition to its JLTV offering, which are modular and scalable to provide varying levels of capabilities at a range of prices that can be provided individually or as complete packages. Their approach is centered around the TAK-4 independent suspension system, which delivers greater off-road profile capability, improved ride quality, an increase in maximum speed, greater whole-vehicle durability, and restored payload capacity and ground clearance.[46] Northrop Grumman developed a new chassis and power train for the Humvee that would combine the mobility and payload capabilities of original vehicle variants while maintaining the protection levels of up-armored versions. The cost to upgrade one Humvee with Northrop Grumman's features is $145,000.[47][48] Textron has offered another Humvee upgrade option called the Survivable Combat Tactical Vehicle (SCTV) that restores mobility and survivability over armored Humvee levels. Although the SCTV costs more at $200,000 per vehicle, the company claims it can restore the Humvee for operational use, combining Humvee-level mobility and transportability with MRAP-level underbody protection as a transitional solution until the JLTV is introduced in significant numbers.[49][50]

One suggested future role for the Humvee is as an autonomous unmanned ground vehicle (UGV). If converted to a UGV, the vehicle could serve as a mobile scout vehicle with armor features removed to enhance mobility and terrain accessibility, since there would be no occupants needed to protect. Because there will still be tens of thousands of Humvees in the U.S. inventory after the JLTV enters service, it could be a low-cost way to build an unmanned combat vehicle fleet. Autonomy features would allow the Humvees to drive themselves and one soldier to control a "swarm" of several vehicles.[5]

Although the Army plans to buy 49,100 JLTVs and the Marine Corps 5,500, they are not a one-for-one replacement for the Humvee, and both services will still be left operating large fleets. For the Marines, 69 JLTVs will replace the 74 Humvees in all active infantry battalions to cover its expeditionary forces. The Marine JLTV order is planned to be completed by 2022, leaving the remainder of the Corps' 13,000-strong Humvee force scattered around support organizations while soft-skinned Humvees will provide support behind the forward-deployed Marine Expeditionary Unit. The Army does not plan to replace Humvees in the Army National Guard and is considering options on how many of its 120,000 vehicles will be replaced, sustained, or modernized. Even if half of the force is replaced by JLTVs, the entire planned order will not be complete until 2040. If upgrades are chosen for the remaining Humvees, the cost would likely have to not exceed $100,000 per vehicle.[51] The Humvee is expected to remain in U.S. military service until at least 2050.[52] Ambulance variants of the Humvee will especially remain in active use, as the JLTV could not be modified to serve as one due to weight issues.[53]

Design features

The Humvee seats four people with an available fully enclosed metal cabin with a vertical windshield. The body is constructed from lightweight and rust-resistant aluminum, instead of conventional steel. It has all-wheel drive with an independent suspension and helical gear-reduction hubs similar to portal axles which attach towards the top rather than the center of each wheel to allow the drivetrain shafts to be raised for a full 16 in (410 mm) of ground clearance. The body is mounted on a narrow steel frame with boxed rails and five cross members for rigidity. The rails act as sliders to protect the drivetrain which is nestled between and above the rails.[54] Raising the drivetrain into the cabin area and lowering the seats into the frame creates a substantial chest-high transmission hump which separates passengers on each side and lowers the overall center of gravity compared to most trucks where the body and passengers are above the frame.[55]

The vehicle also has double-wishbone suspension with portal gear hubs on all 4 wheels; and all-around inboard disc brakes. The brake discs are not mounted at the wheels, as on conventional cars, but are inboard of the half-shafts, attached right outside of the differentials. The front and rear differentials are Torsen type, and the center differential is a regular, lockable type. Torque-biasing differentials allows forward movement as long as at least one wheel has traction. It runs on specialized 37 × 12.5 radial tires with low-profile runflat devices. Newer HMMWV versions can be equipped with an optional central tire inflation system (CTIS) kit in the field. While it is optimized for off-road mobility, it can drive at highway speeds of 55 mph (89 km/h) at maximum weight with a top speed of 70 mph (110 km/h).[56][57]

HMMWVs are well suited for airmobile operations as they are transportable by C-130 or larger combat transports, droppable by parachute, and can be sling-loaded from helicopters, though there are smaller vehicles such as the Growler which were designed to fit into smaller craft such as the V-22. In combat conditions, the HMMWV can be delivered by the Low Altitude Parachute Extraction System which pulls the vehicle out of the open rear ramp just above the ground without the aircraft having to land.

 
Humvee fording

There are at least 17 variants of the HMMWV in service with the U.S. military. HMMWVs serve as cargo/troop carriers, automatic weapons platforms, ambulances (four litter patients or eight ambulatory patients), M220 TOW missile carriers, M119 howitzer prime movers, M1097 Avenger Pedestal Mounted Stinger platforms, MRQ-12 direct air support vehicles, S250 shelter carriers, and other roles. The HMMWV is capable of fording 2.5 ft (76 cm) normally, or 5 ft (1.5 m) with the deep-water fording kits installed.

Optional equipment includes a winch (maximum load capacity 6,000 lb (2,700 kg) and supplemental armor. The M1025/M1026 and M1043/M1044 armament carriers provide mounting and firing capabilities for the M134 Minigun, the Mk 19 grenade launcher, the M2 heavy machine gun, the GAU-19A/B gatling gun, the M240G/B machine gun and M249 LMG.

The M1114 "up-armored" HMMWV, introduced in 1996, also features a similar weapons mount.[58] In addition, some M1114 and M1116 up-armored and M1117 Armored Security Vehicle models feature a Common Remotely Operated Weapon Station (CROWS), which allows the gunner to operate from inside the vehicle, and/or the Boomerang anti-sniper detection system. Recent improvements have also led to the development of the M1151 model, which quickly rendered the previous models obsolete. By replacing the M1114, M1116, and earlier armored HMMWV types with a single model, the U.S. Army hopes to lower maintenance costs.

The latest iteration of the Humvee series can be seen in the M1151A1 and later up-armored A1-versions. It has a stronger suspension and larger 6.5 liter turbo-diesel engine to accommodate the weight of up to 680 kg (1,500 lb) of additional armor. The armor protection can be installed or taken off depending on the operating environment, so the vehicles can move more efficiently without armor when there is no threat of attack. There is some underbody armor that moderately protects against mines and roadside bombs. Other improvements include Vehicle Emergency Escape (VEE) windows that can be quickly removed so troops inside can escape in the event of a rollover, jammed door, or the vehicle catching fire, and a blast chimney that vents the force of a bomb blast upwards and away from the occupants. The M1151A1 has a crew of four, can carry 2,000 lb (910 kg) of payload, and can tow a 4,000 lb (1,800 kg) load. On roads, it has a top speed of 80 km/h (50 mph) and a range of 480 km (300 mi).[59]

  • Scorpion – Single unit version, fitted with 2B9 Vasilek 82 mm automatic mortar. This is a heavy chassis HMMWV developed in 2004 by engineers at the U.S. Army's Picatinny Arsenal. The mortar itself can fire on single shots or automatic using 4 round clips. The range for direct fire is 1,000m and the indirect fire is 4,000m. It is also intended to provide another means of destroying roadside bombs but at a safer standoff range. Only one has been produced.[62]

M1113 Expanded Capacity Vehicle (ECV)

Under contract to the US Army, AM General developed the M1113 Expanded Capacity Vehicle (ECV). The M1097A2 is the basis for the Expanded Capacity Vehicle (ECV).[63] The ECV provided the payload capacity allowing for larger and heavier communications shelters, improved armor protection level for scouts, military police, security police, and explosive ordnance disposal platforms.[60]

In late 1995, the production of the M1114 based on the improved ECV chassis began. The M1114 meets Army requirements for a scout, military police, and explosive ordnance disposal vehicle with improved ballistic protection levels. The M1114 provides protection against 7.62 mm armor-piercing projectiles, 155 mm artillery air bursts and 12 lb (5.4 kg) anti-tank mine blasts.

In June 1996, the U.S. Army purchased an initial 390 M1114s for operations in Bosnia. The U.S. Air Force has several M1114 vehicles that differ in detail from the U.S. Army model. Under the designation M1116, the type was specifically designed and tailored to the needs of the U.S. Air Force.[60] The M1116 features an expanded cargo area, armored housing for the turret gunner, and increased interior heating and air conditioning system. The M1114 and M1116 received armor at O'Gara-Hess & Eisenhardt Armoring Company of Fairfield, Ohio. The M1145 offers the protection of the M1114 and M1116 for Air Force Air Support Operations Squadrons (ASOS). Designed to protect Forward Air Controllers, modifications include perimeter ballistic protection, overhead burst protection, IED protection, mine blast protection, and 'white glass' transparent armor.[64] Before the introduction of the latest armored HMMWV variants, and between 1993 and June 2006, Armor Holdings produced more than 17,500 armored HMMWVs (more than 14,000 between 2003 and 2007), all but about 160 of the earliest models were M1114, with smaller numbers of M1116 and M1045.[60] These extended capacity HMMWVs can drive over an 18 in (460 mm) vertical wall and carry a 6,820 lb (3,090 kg) payload.[65]

Israel's Plasan has developed armored versions of the HMMWV, assembled by ELVO in Greece as the M1114GR, M1115GR and M1118GR.[75] ELVO also produced the Ambulance version, a SOF version, and an engineering version of the HMMWV for the Hellenic Army.
  • Israel – Plasan has also designed and supplied an HMMWV armored protection kit for the Portuguese Army,[76] and a different version assembled by Automotive Industries in Nazareth for the Israel Defense Forces.
  • Mexico – The Dirección General de Industria Militar (DGIM), the Mexican Army's prime wholly owned military manufacturer, builds the HMMWV under license in Mexico[77][78] after a small number of American-built Humvees proved to be reliable within the Mexican army. Mexican HMMWVs are similar to the American built models but are slightly longer. They feature a standard selective shift automatic transmission connected to a Mercedes Benz diesel engine and an anti-spalling layer in the passenger cabin. Many are equipped with bulletproof windows and a layer of armor unique to these Mexican HMMWVs. In 2010, Mexico displayed a wagon variant with a second gun hatch to cover the rear of the vehicle.[77] This version also featured a more powerful V-12 engine and civilian road wheels to increase top speed capabilities in urban areas.
  • PolandPolish Land Forces operate 222 HMMWVs (5 unknown variants are operated by Polish Special Forces).

Survivable Combat Tactical Vehicle

 
Marine Corps inspected SCTV Humvee, 2010

Textron's Survivable Combat Tactical Vehicle (SCTV) is a protective capsule that can increase Humvee survivability to MRAP levels while significantly improving mobility; the modifications come in five kits, but all five need to be installed before the vehicle can be properly called an SCTV. The vehicle features a monocoque V-shaped hull and angled sides to help deflect rocket-propelled grenades (RPGs) with scalable levels of protection. It has greater engine power, replacing the 6.5-liter diesel engine with a Cummins 6.7-liter diesel and Allison 6-speed transmission, as well as a stronger suspension, improved brakes, higher ground clearance, and new onboard instrumentation. Fuel capacity is increased from 27 to 40 US gal (100 to 150 l; 22 to 33 imp gal) and the battery and fuel cells are moved from under the rear seat to the rear of the vehicle. Also included are a powerful air conditioner and heating system, run-flat tires, a thermal guard liner under the roof, sharp edges removed from inside the cabin, blast attenuating seats, and a folding gunner's turret allowing rapid deployment from a cargo aircraft or shipboard below deck. Although heavier than the Humvee, the SCTV is half the weight and costs $150,000 less than a comparably survivable MRAP. The basic version is a four-passenger armament carrier, but it can be configured as a nine-passenger troop carrier, air-defense vehicle, flatbed cargo truck, or field ambulance depending on the type of Humvee it is converted from.[50][82][83]

Work began on the SCTV in 2008 in anticipation of U.S. military upgrades, but it was shelved once they made the JLTV a priority. Textron then focused on selling the SCTV upgrade package to up to 25 countries operating the global fleet, a potential market of up to 10,000 vehicles. The upgrade can enhance the survivability of previously soft-skinned versions, sometimes sold by the U.S. as Excess Defense Articles, while costing and weighing less than a comparable MRAP. By 2015, Colombia had installed the SCTV into three Humvees for testing, and Ukraine had shown interest in upgrading their old-model Humvees recently supplied by the U.S.[82][83][84] Ukraine ordered three SCTVs in February 2016.[85]

Civilian sales

In December 2014, the Department of Defense began auctioning off some 4,000 used Humvees to the public. While some have been transferred to domestic law enforcement agencies, this is the first time the military vehicles have been made available for civilian ownership. The idea is to sell them with starting bids at $10,000 each, rather than simply scrapping them as a way to save money and repurpose them. M998, M998A1, M1038, and M1038A1 model Humvees are available, which are out of U.S. service and lack armor. AM General has been opposed to the resale of military Humvees to the general public, primarily because surplus government vehicles would have cut into sales related to the civilian Hummer model, whose production ended in 2010.[156] The first sales from auction occurred on 17 December 2014 for 25 of the Humvees. Bids ranged from $21,500 for a 1989 M1038 to $41,000 for a 1994 AM General M998A1. The average bid was around $30,000 and the sale of the 25 vehicles netted $744,000 total.[157] GovPlanet has since taken over the contract and sells Humvees at its weekly online auctions.[158]

HUMVEE C-Series

In 2017, it was announced that AM General signed a contract with VLF Automotive to build a new civilian version of the HMMWV for sale outside of the US. The initial contract calls for up to 100 a year to be built and sold overseas to places such as China, Europe, Middle East, and Australia.[159] These are essentially updated Hummer H1s, but cannot use the Hummer-brand owned by General Motors. These vehicles have not been approved for sale in the US due to safety or emission standards.[160]

Replicas

Kits have been produced for the general market to turn a sedan into a Humvee lookalike. An alternative is to buy a preconstructed (or "turnkey") model. Various kits exist, but one of the more well known is the Volkswagen Beetle-based "Wombat". This was previously named "HummBug", until the threat of a lawsuit from General Motors forced changes to the name and the grille design to make it look less like the real thing.[161][162] It can be purchased/built for about US$18,000; this puts it considerably cheaper than the actual HMMWV ($56,000), or Hummer.[citation needed]

In Australia, a Gold Coast-based company called Rhino Buggies produces replicas of the Hummer H1 based on the Nissan Patrol 4WD vehicle for around A$30,000.[163]

In the U.S., four companies offered Hummer-look-alike body kits that can be mated to GM full-size trucks and Suburban chassis and, in some cases, Ford, Dodge, and even Cadillac applications. Some models are; Urban Gorilla from Urban Manufacturing, Endeavor SB400 and SB4x400 from Forever Off-Road, the Jurassic Truck Corporation T-Rex, and the Bummer from Tatonka Products An additional company offers plans so for chassis building. The kits range from two-door fiberglass models to steel tube and sheet metal constructions.[164]

This article is about the military vehicle For the civilian vehicle brand see Hummer The High Mobility Multipurpose Wheeled Vehicle HMMWV colloquial Humvee is a family of light four wheel drive military trucks and utility vehicles produced by AM General 10 It has largely supplanted the roles previously performed by the original jeep and others such as the Vietnam War era M151 jeep the M561 Gama Goat their M718A1 and M792 ambulance versions the Commercial Utility Cargo Vehicle and other light trucks Primarily used by the United States military it is also used by numerous other countries and organizations and even in civilian adaptations The Humvee saw widespread use in the Gulf War of 1991 where it navigated the treacherous desert terrain this usage helped to inspire civilian Hummer versions The vehicle s original unarmored design was later seen to be inadequate The vehicle was found to be particularly vulnerable to improvised explosive devices in the Iraq War The U S hastily up armored select models and replaced front line units with the MRAP The U S military sought to replace the vehicle in front line service under the Joint Light Tactical Vehicle JLTV program In 2015 the

this template message Since the World War II Willys MB reconnaissance truck was used for mass deployment and became known as the jeep the United States military had continued to rely heavily on jeeps as general utility vehicles and as a mass transport for soldiers in small groups Although the U S Army had let Ford redesign the jeep from the ground up during the 1950s and the resulting M151 jeep incorporated significant innovations it firmly adhered to the original concept a very compact light enough to manhandle low profile vehicle with a folding windshield that a layman could barely distinguish from the preceding Willys jeeps The jeeps were shorter than a Volkswagen Beetle and weighed just over one metric ton seating three to four with an 800 lb 360 kg payload During and after the war the very light 1 4 ton jeeps were complemented by the 3 4 ton Dodge WC and Korean War Dodge M37 models By the mid 1960s the U S military felt a need to reevaluate their aging light vehicle fleet 11 For starters from the mid 1960s the U S Army had tried to modernize through replacing the larger purpose built Dodge M37s by militarized commercial off the shelf COTS 4 4 trucks initially the M715 Jeep trucks succeeded in the later 1970s by several CUCV adapted commercial pickup series but these did not satisfy newer requirements either What was wanted was a truly versatile light military truck that could replace multiple outdated vehicles When becoming aware of the U S Army s desire for a versatile new light weapons carrier reconnaissance vehicle as early as 1969 FMC Corporation started development on their XR311 prototype and offered it for testing in 1970 11 At least a dozen of these were built for testing under the High Mobility Combat Vehicle or HMCV program initially much more as an enhanced capability successor to the M151 jeep than as a general purpose vehicle In 1977 Lamborghini developed the Cheetah model in an attempt to meet the Army contract specifications Humvee interior In 1979 the U S Army drafted final specifications for a High Mobility Multipurpose Wheeled Vehicle HMMWV which was to replace all the tactical vehicles in the 1 4 ton to 5 4 ton range 12 namely the M151 quarter ton jeeps M561 Gama Goats and the CUCVs as one uniform jack of all trades light tactical vehicle series to better perform the roles of the impractically mixed fleet of outdated existing vehicles 5 unreliable source The specification called for excellent on and off road performance the ability to carry a large payload and improved survivability against indirect fire 13 Compared to the jeep it was larger and had a much wider track with a 16 in 410 mm ground clearance double that of most sport utility vehicles The new truck was to climb a 60 percent incline and traverse a 40 percent slope The air intake was to be mounted flush on top of the right fender or to be raised on a stovepipe to roof level to ford 5 ft 1 5 m of water 14 and electronics waterproofed to drive through 2 5 ft 0 76 m of water were specified The radiator was to be mounted high sloping over the engine on a forward hinged hood Out of 61 companies that showed interest only three submitted prototypes 13 In July 1979 AM General a subsidiary of American Motors Corporation began preliminary design work Less than a year later the prototype was in testing Chrysler Defense and Teledyne Continental also produced competing designs In June 1981 the Army awarded AM General a contract for the development of several more prototype vehicles to be delivered to the government for another series of tests The original M998 A0 series had a curb weight of 5 200 lb 2 400 kg a payload of 2 500 lb 1 100 kg a 6 2 L 380 cu in V8 diesel engine and 6 3 L gasoline and a three speed automatic transmission The three companies were chosen to design and build eleven HMMWV prototypes the vehicles were subjected to over 600 000 miles in trials which included off road courses in desert and arctic conditions AM General was awarded an initial contract in 1983 for 2 334 vehicles the first batch of a five year contract that would see 55 000 vehicles delivered to the U S military including 39 000 vehicles for the Army 72 000 vehicles had been delivered to the U S and foreign customers by the Persian Gulf War of 1991 and 100 000 had been delivered by the Humvee s 10th anniversary in 1995 5 Ft Lewis Washington and the 2nd Battalion 47th Infantry 9th Infantry Division was the testing unit to employ HMMWV in the new concept of a motorized division Yakima Training Center in Yakima Washington was the main testing grounds for HMMWVs from 1985 through December 1991 when the motorized concept was abandoned and the division inactivated Use in combat Edit HMMWVs first saw combat in Operation Just Cause the U S invasion of Panama in 1989 The HMMWV was designed primarily for personnel and light cargo transport behind front lines not as a front line fighting vehicle Like the previous jeep the basic HMMWV has no armor or protection against chemical biological radiological or nuclear threats Nevertheless losses were relatively low in conventional operations such as the Gulf War Vehicles and crews suffered considerable damage and losses during the Battle of Mogadishu in 1993 because of the nature of urban engagement However the chassis survivability allowed the majority of those crews to return to safety though the HMMWV was never designed to offer protection against intense small arms fire much less machine guns and rocket propelled grenades With the rise of asymmetric warfare and low intensity conflicts the HMMWV was pressed into service in urban combat roles for which it was not originally intended 15 After Operation Restore Hope in Somalia the military recognized a need for a more protected HMMWV and AM General developed the M1114 an armored HMMWV to withstand small arms fire The M1114 has been in production since 1996 seeing limited use in the Balkans before deployment to the Middle East This design is superior to the M998 with a larger more powerful turbocharged engine air conditioning and a strengthened suspension system More importantly it boasts a fully armored passenger area protected by hardened steel and bullet resistant glass With the increase in direct attacks and asymmetric warfare in Iraq AM General diverted the majority of its manufacturing power to producing these vehicles Humvees were sent into Afghanistan following the 9 11 terrorist attacks where they proved invaluable during initial operations In the early years before IEDs became prevalent the vehicle was liked by troops for its ability to access rough mountainous terrain Some soldiers would remove features from Humvees including what little armor it had and sometimes even entire doors to make them lighter and more maneuverable for off road conditions and to increase visibility With the onset of the Iraq War Humvees proved very vulnerable to IEDs in the first four months of 2006 67 U S troops died in Humvees To increase protection the U S military hastily added armor kits to the vehicles Although this somewhat improved survivability bolting on armor made the Humvee an ungainly beast increasing weight and putting a strain on the chassis which led to unreliability Armored doors that weighed hundreds of pounds were difficult for troops to open and the newly armored turret made Humvees top heavy and increased the danger of rollovers The U S Marine Corps decided to start replacing Humvees in combat with Mine Resistant Ambush Protected MRAP vehicles in 2007 and the U S Army stated that the vehicle was no longer feasible for combat in 2012 5 13 However Humvees have also been used by Taliban insurgents for suicide bombings against the Afghan National Security Forces in the country 16 17 18 The HMMWV has become the vehicular backbone of U S forces around the world Over 10 000 HMMWVs were employed by coalition forces during the Iraq War 19 The Humvee has been described as a vehicle with the right capability for its era designed to provide payload mobility in protected safe areas However deploying the vehicle to conflict zones where it was exposed to a full spectrum of threat which it was neither designed to operate or be survivable in led to adding protection at the cost of mobility and payload 5 On 22 April 2022 Pentagon Press Secretary John F Kirby described a package of military equipment being transported to Ukraine to assist in its war with Russia including 100 armored Humvee vehicles 20 An additional 50 were promised on 19 August 2022 21 Modifications Edit A U S Marine Corps M1123 HMMWV in 2004 equipped with a bolt on MAK armor kit In December 2004 Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld came under criticism from U S troops and their families for not providing better equipped HMMWVs 22 Rumsfeld pointed out that before the war armor kits were produced only in small numbers per year As the role of American forces in Iraq changed from fighting the Iraqi Army to suppressing the insurgency more armor kits were being manufactured though perhaps not as fast as production facilities were capable Even more advanced kits were also being developed While these kits are much more effective against all types of attacks they weigh from 1 500 to 2 200 lb 680 to 1 000 kg and have some of the same drawbacks as the improvised armor 23 Unlike similar sized civilian cargo and tow trucks which typically have dual rear wheels to reduce sway the HMMWV has single rear wheels because of its independent rear suspension coupled with the body design Most up armored HMMWVs hold up well against lateral attacks when the blast is distributed in all different directions but offer little protection from a mine blast below the truck such as buried IEDs and land mines Explosively formed penetrators EFPs can also defeat the armor kits causing casualties At the Bridgeport California Mountain Warfare Training Center in March 1997 a test HMMWV drives through the snow equipped with Mattracks treads The armor kits fielded include the Armor Survivability Kit ASK FRAG 5 FRAG 6 as well as upgrade kits to the M1151 24 25 The ASK was the first fielded in October 2003 adding about 1 000 pounds 450 kg to the weight of the vehicle 26 Armor Holdings fielded an even lighter kit adding only 750 pounds 340 kg to the vehicle s weight 27 The Marine Armor Kit MAK fielded in January 2005 offers more protection than the M1114 but also increases weight 28 The FRAG 5 offered even more protection but was still inadequate to stop EFP attacks 29 The FRAG 6 kit is designed to do just that however its increased protection adds over 1 000 lb 450 kg the vehicle over the FRAG 5 kit and the width is increased by 2 feet 61 cm The doors may also require a mechanical assist device to open and close 30 A HMMWV equipped with SLAMRAAM surface to air missiles on display at the Paris Air Show in June 2007 Another drawback of the up armored HMMWVs occurs during an accident or attack when the heavily armored doors tend to jam shut trapping the troops inside 31 As a result the U S Army Aviation and Missile Research Development and Engineering Center developed the Humvee Crew Extraction D ring in 2006 The D ring hooks on the door of the HMMWV so that another vehicle can rip the door off with a tow strap chain or cable to free the troops inside 32 33 The D ring was later recognized as one of the top 10 greatest Army inventions of 2006 34 In addition Vehicle Emergency Escape VEE windows developed by BAE Systems were fielded for use on the M1114 up armored HMMWV with 1 000 kits ordered 35 Soldiers of 3rd BCT 25th ID use an M153 CROWS atop an M1115A1 HMMWV at the Battle Area Complex Schofield Barracks Hawaii 2017 The soldier manning the exposed crew served weapon on top of the vehicle is extremely vulnerable In response many HMMWVs have been fitted with basic gun shields or turrets as was the case with M113 APCs after they were first deployed in Vietnam The U S military is currently evaluating a new form of protection developed by BAE Systems as well as systems designed by the Army which are already in theater 36 The new gunner s seat is protected by 1 5 to 2 feet 46 to 61 cm high steel plates with bullet proof glass windows Additionally some HMMWVs have been fitted with a remotely operated CROWS weapon station which slaves the machine gun to controls in the back seat so it can be fired without exposing the crew The Boomerang anti sniper system was also fielded by some HMMWVs in Iraq to immediately give troops the location of insurgents firing on them Another weakness for the HMMWV has proven to be its size which limited its deployment in Afghanistan because it is too wide for the smallest roads and too large for many forms of air transport compared to jeeps or Land Rover sized vehicles which are respectively 24 and 15 inches narrower This size also limits the ability of the vehicle to be manhandled out of situations Alternatives Edit The Army purchased a purpose built armored car the M1117 Armored Security Vehicle also known as an armored personnel carrying vehicle APC in limited numbers for use by the United States Army Military Police Corps In 2007 the Marine Corps announced an intention to replace all HMMWVs in Iraq with MRAPs because of high loss rates and issued contracts for the purchase of several thousand of these vehicles which include the International MaxxPro the BAE OMC RG 31 the BAE RG 33 and Caiman and the Force Protection Cougar 37 38 39 40 41 which were deployed primarily for mine clearing duties Heavier models of infantry mobility vehicles IMV can also be used for patrol vehicles 42 The MaxxPro Line has been shown to have the highest rate of vehicle rollover accidents because of its very high center of gravity and immense weight Replacement and future Edit Main article Humvee replacement process The Humvee replacement process undertaken by the U S military focused on interim replacement with MRAPs and long term replacement with the Joint Light Tactical Vehicle JLTV The HMMWV has evolved several times since its introduction and was used in tactical roles for which it was never originally intended The military pursued several initiatives to replace it both in the short and long terms The short term replacement efforts utilized commercial off the shelf vehicles as part of the Mine Resistant Ambush Protected MRAP program These vehicles were procured to replace Humvees in combat theaters The long term replacement for the Humvee is the JLTV which is designed from the ground up The Future Tactical Truck System FTTS program was initiated to analyze potential requirements for a Humvee replacement Various prototype vehicles such as the MillenWorks Light Utility Vehicle and the ULTRA AP have been constructed as part of these efforts The JLTV contract was awarded to Oshkosh in August 2015 43 The U S Marine Corps issued a request for proposals in 2013 for its Humvee sustainment modification initiative to upgrade 6 700 expanded capacity vehicles ECVs The Marines plan to field the JLTV but do not have enough funding to completely replace all Humvees so they decided to continue sustaining their fleet Key areas of improvement include upgrades to the suspension to reduce the amount of force transferred to the chassis upgrading the engine and transmission for better fuel efficiency enhancements to the cooling system to prevent overheating a central tire inflation system to improve off road mobility and ride quality and increased underbody survivability Testing of upgraded Humvees was to occur in 2014 with production and installation occurring from 2015 through 2018 Older A2 series Humvees make up half the current fleet and 4 000 are to be disposed of through foreign military sales and transfers By 2017 the Marines light tactical vehicle fleet is to consist of 3 500 A2 series Humvees 9 500 ECV Humvees and 5 000 JLTVs with 18 000 vehicles in total Humvees in service with the Marine Corps will be upgraded through 2030 44 The Marines shelved the Humvee modernization effort in March 2015 because of budget cuts 45 Several companies are offering modifications to maintain the remaining U S military Humvee fleets Oshkosh Corporation is offering Humvee upgrades to the Marine Corps in addition to its JLTV offering which are modular and scalable to provide varying levels of capabilities at a range of prices that can be provided individually or as complete packages Their approach is centered around the TAK 4 independent suspension system which delivers greater off road profile capability improved ride quality an increase in maximum speed greater whole vehicle durability and restored payload capacity and ground clearance 46 Northrop Grumman developed a new chassis and power train for the Humvee that would combine the mobility and payload capabilities of original vehicle variants while maintaining the protection levels of up armored versions The cost to upgrade one Humvee with Northrop Grumman s features is 145 000 47 48 Textron has offered another Humvee upgrade option called the Survivable Combat Tactical Vehicle SCTV that restores mobility and survivability over armored Humvee levels Although the SCTV costs more at 200 000 per vehicle the company claims it can restore the Humvee for operational use combining Humvee level mobility and transportability with MRAP level underbody protection as a transitional solution until the JLTV is introduced in significant numbers 49 50 One suggested future role for the Humvee is as an autonomous unmanned ground vehicle UGV If converted to a UGV the vehicle could serve as a mobile scout vehicle with armor features removed to enhance mobility and terrain accessibility since there would be no occupants needed to protect Because there will still be tens of thousands of Humvees in the U S inventory after the JLTV enters service it could be a low cost way to build an unmanned combat vehicle fleet Autonomy features would allow the Humvees to drive themselves and one soldier to control a swarm of several vehicles 5 Although the Army plans to buy 49 100 JLTVs and the Marine Corps 5 500 they are not a one for one replacement for the Humvee and both services will still be left operating large fleets For the Marines 69 JLTVs will replace the 74 Humvees in all active infantry battalions to cover its expeditionary forces The Marine JLTV order is planned to be completed by 2022 leaving the remainder of the Corps 13 000 strong Humvee force scattered around support organizations while soft skinned Humvees will provide support behind the forward deployed Marine Expeditionary Unit The Army does not plan to replace Humvees in the Army National Guard and is considering options on how many of its 120 000 vehicles will be replaced sustained or modernized Even if half of the force is replaced by JLTVs the entire planned order will not be complete until 2040 If upgrades are chosen for the remaining Humvees the cost would likely have to not exceed 100 000 per vehicle 51 The Humvee is expected to remain in U S military service until at least 2050 52 Ambulance variants of the Humvee will especially remain in active use as the JLTV could not be modified to serve as one due to weight issues 53 Design features EditThis section needs additional citations for verification Please help improve this article by adding citations to

airman in Southwest Asia stands in the ring mount of a FRAG 6 reinforced HMMWV 2010 The Humvee seats four people with an available fully enclosed metal cabin with a vertical windshield The body is constructed from lightweight and rust resistant aluminum instead of conventional steel It has all wheel drive with an independent suspension and helical gear reduction hubs similar to portal axles which attach towards the top rather than the center of each wheel to allow the drivetrain shafts to be raised for a full 16 in 410 mm of ground clearance The body is mounted on a narrow steel frame with boxed rails and five cross members for rigidity The rails act as sliders to protect the drivetrain which is nestled between and above the rails 54 Raising the drivetrain into the cabin area and lowering the seats into the frame creates a substantial chest high transmission hump which separates passengers on each side and lowers the overall center of gravity compared to most trucks where the body and passengers are above the frame 55 The vehicle also has double wishbone suspension with portal gear hubs on all 4 wheels and all around inboard disc brakes The brake discs are not mounted at the wheels as on conventional cars but are inboard of the half shafts attached right outside of the differentials The front and rear differentials are Torsen type and the center differential is a regular lockable type Torque biasing differentials allows forward movement as long as at least one wheel has traction It runs on specialized 37 12 5 radial tires with low profile runflat devices Newer HMMWV versions can be equipped with an optional central tire inflation system CTIS kit in the field While it is optimized for off road mobility it can drive at highway speeds of 55 mph 89 km h at maximum weight with a top speed of 70 mph 110 km h 56 57 HMMWVs are well suited for airmobile operations as they are transportable by C 130 or larger combat transports droppable by parachute and can be sling loaded from helicopters though there are smaller vehicles such as the Growler which were designed to fit into smaller craft such as the V 22 In combat conditions the HMMWV can be delivered by the Low Altitude Parachute Extraction System which pulls the vehicle out of the open rear ramp just above the ground without the aircraft having to land Humvee fording There are at least 17 variants

gatling gun the M240G B machine gun and M249 LMG The M1114 up armored HMMWV introduced in 1996 also features a similar weapons mount 58 In addition some M1114 and M1116 up armored and M1117 Armored Security Vehicle models feature a Common Remotely Operated Weapon Station CROWS which allows the gunner to operate from inside the vehicle and or the Boomerang anti sniper detection system Recent improvements have also led to the development of the M1151 model which quickly rendered the previous models obsolete By replacing the M1114 M1116 and earlier armored HMMWV types with a single model the U S Army hopes to lower maintenance costs The latest iteration of the Humvee series can be seen in the M1151A1 and later up armored A1 versions It has a stronger suspension and larger 6 5 liter turbo diesel engine to accommodate the weight of up to 680 kg 1 500 lb of additional armor The armor protection can be installed or taken off depending on the operating environment so the vehicles can move more efficiently without armor when there is no threat of attack There is some underbody armor that moderately protects against mines and roadside bombs Other improvements include Vehicle Emergency Escape VEE windows that can be quickly removed so troops inside can escape in the event of a rollover jammed door or the vehicle catching fire and a blast chimney that vents the force of a bomb blast upwards and away from the occupants The M1151A1 has a crew of four can carry 2 000 lb 910 kg of payload and can tow a 4 000 lb 1 800 kg load On roads it has a top speed of 80 km h 50 mph

151 Non State Actors Edit A Humvee captured by the Taliban in 2021 Islamic State 2 300 captured 152 Kataib Hezbollah 153 Syrian Democratic Forces Equipped with at least 20 Humvees from 2017 with further details not revealed 154 People s Defense Units 155 Taliban An unknown number estimated in the hundreds were captured by the Taliban from the Afghan National Army 86 Civilian sales Edit In December 2014 the Department of Defense began auctioning off some 4 000 used Humvees to the public While some have been transferred to domestic law enforcement agencies this is the first time the military vehicles have been made available for civilian ownership The idea is to sell them with starting bids at 10 000 each rather than simply scrapping them as a way to save money and repurpose them M998 M998A1 M1038 and M1038A1 model Humvees are available which are out of U S service and lack armor AM General has been opposed to the resale of military Humvees to the general public primarily because surplus government vehicles would have cut into sales related to the civilian Hummer model whose production ended in 2010 156 The first sales from auction occurred on 17 December 2014 for 25 of the Humvees Bids ranged from 21 500 for a 1989 M1038 to 41 000 for a 1994 AM General M998A1 The average bid was around 30 000 and the sale of the 25 vehicles netted 744 000 total 157 GovPlanet has since taken over the contract and sells Humvees at its weekly online auctions 158 HUMVEE C Series Edit In 2017 it was announced that AM General signed a contract with VLF Automotive to build a new civilian version of the HMMWV for sale outside of the US The initial contract calls for up to 100 a year to be built and sold overseas to places such as China Europe Middle East and Australia 159 These are essentially updated Hummer H1s but cannot use the Hummer brand owned by General Motors These vehicles have not been approved for sale in the US due to safety or emission standards 160

for the general market to turn a sedan into a Humvee lookalike An alternative is to buy a preconstructed or turnkey model Various kits exist but one of the more well known is the Volkswagen Beetle based Wombat This was previously named HummBug until the threat of a lawsuit from General Motors forced changes to the name and the grille design to make it look less like the real thing 161 162 It can be purchased built for about US 18 000 this puts it considerably cheaper than the actual HMMWV 56 000 or Hummer citation needed In Australia a Gold Coast based company called Rhino Buggies produces replicas of the Hummer H1 based on the Nissan Patrol 4WD vehicle for around A 30 000 163 In the U S four companies offered Hummer look alike body kits that can be mated to GM full size trucks and Suburban chassis and in some cases Ford Dodge and even Cadillac applications Some models are Urban Gorilla from Urban Manufacturing Endeavor SB400 and SB4x400 from Forever Off Road the Jurassic Truck Corporation T Rex and the Bummer from Tatonka Products An additional company offers plans so for chassis building The kits range from two door fiberglass models to steel tube and sheet metal
