HI MOB MULTI-PURP WHLD VEH (HMMWV)

The High Mobility Multipurpose Wheeled Vehicle (HMMWV) modernization program, aims to procure new up-armored HMMWVs and hybrid electric vehicles for the Army. The program includes the procurement of new production armor-capable HMMWVs to modernize Modification Table of Organization and Equipment (MTOE) units, allowing for the divestiture of older non-armored HMMWVs that pose readiness challenges. The specific objectives include retrofitting existing fleets with modern configurations, including Anti-lock Braking System/Electronic Stability Control (ABS/ESC) Systems, Heating, Ventilation and Air Conditioning (HVAC), and Alternating Current (AC) Inverter for the M997A3 HMMWV Ambulance. These procurements align with the Army's current Tactical Wheeled Vehicle strategy and address identified model mix gaps.

The program also aims to mitigate rollover and loss of control incidents resulting in fatalities and serious injuries by incorporating ABS/ESC kits. Additionally, it addresses obsolescence and readiness issues by updating HVAC systems and ensures power supply for necessary medical equipment in the M997A3 through AC Inverters. Without this investment, approximately 7,700 Non-Armored HMMWVs would remain in the fleet instead of the authorized armor-capable M1152A1. The program's goals are to enhance fleet readiness, improve vehicle safety, and align with the Army's strategic vehicle modernization efforts.
