History

AM General of South Bend, Ind., was awarded a $59,963,442 contract for 814 M1152s and 31 M1151s and a $19,617,847 contract to buy and install armor kits for the M1151.{{citation needed|date=September 2023}}

Design

The M1151 HMMWV has a heavier chassis and improved engine to handle add-on armor. It is built on an Expanded Capacity Vehicle chassis, which allows for more passengers or additional supplies (up to 2,300 lbs).

Its two- or four-seat variant is the M1152 Enhanced Troop/Cargo/Shelter Carrier, designed to replace the M1097A2 Heavy HMMWV and M1113 Expanded Capacity Vehicle.{{cite web|url=http://www.olive-drab.com/od_mvg_hmmwv_uparmor_p2.php|title=Olive-Drab.com: Up-Armored HMMWV Page 2|publisher=|accessdate=11 October 2014}}
