Project to create an army all-terrain vehicle

In the seventies of the last century, the leadership of us military agencies came to the conclusion that the cargo vehicles, civil supply manufacturers, do not meet army requirements. The necessity in a special multi-purpose transport for regular units of the U.S. army. In 1979 work began on an ambitious project to create the wheel supervezdehodov, which received the designation HMMWV. The car had to carry a rapid-fire weaponry, and have armored protection. In the summer of that year, the company "AM General" has started implementation of the project and less than a year later the first prototype under the index М998 has already been tested in the field and was adopted by the military Commission. Once finalized, the vehicle is recommended for serial production.

On the basis of the approved М998 created two models of the SUV: М1025 and М1026. In 1980 the factories "AM General" was released 500 "hammer", and the plan for the period 1981 through 1985, it produced 55 000 vehicles.

Military use

The Original Hummer, the military freighter, was only used to transport Marines and was not considered as a fighting machine. The car had solid protection and was vulnerable to all kinds of weapons, including for single shots, not to mention gunfire. However, the all-terrain vehicle in most cases managed to get out intact from the collision with the enemy, rescued the tenacious chassis, wheel swap and a powerful engine.

Reservation

However, it soon became clear that Hummer, military truck without weapons, needs more protection. And then the company "AM General" model has been developed М1114 with armoured body.

The Inability to combat conditions

The Process of turning the Hummer into a fighting machine continued, and it soon became clear that the car looses its handling characteristics because of the substantial weight of the body. Powerful plates of armor protecting the cockpit and the passenger compartment, significantly increased the vehicle's center of gravity, which adversely affected his handling. In addition, combat use of all-terrain vehicle in full was impossible, by reason of its vulnerability to landmines, which are easily destroyed slim the bottom of the car.

Modernization

Military "hammer", features Which did not meet the requirements of military standards, was in need of radical revision. The car, equipped with small arms on the roof, had no devices to protect the machine gunner. Of course, if the car was created as a means of warfare, the protection of personnel would be much higher. And now I had to go to Refine the design to improve the combat capability of the Rover.
