M1151

M1151

The M1151 Enhanced Armament Carrier is an improved version of the standard High Mobility Multi-Purpose Wheeled Vehicle (HMMWV) designed to replace the M1025A2 utilised by the United States Armed Forces as a response to CENTCOM requirements.

M1152 Enhanced Troop/Cargo/Shelter Carrier

Otherwise identical to the M1151, the M1152 is a four-seat variant rather than two.

Design

The M1151 HMMWV has a heavier chassis and improved engine that allows for the addition and removal of add-on armor protection. It is built on an Expanded Capacity Vehicle (ECV) Chassis allowing for more passengers or for carrying additional supplies (up to 2,300lbs). The M1151 supports the US Army's Modularity and Brigade Combat Teams (BCT) units by implementing elements of the Future Combat Systems network.

Contracts

AM General L.L.C., South Bend, Ind., was awarded a $59,963,442 contract for 814 M1152s and 31 M1151s and a $19,617,847 contract for purchase and installation of armor kits for the M1151.
