The leading manufacturer of light tactical military vehicles and mobility systems, AM General, featured its vision for the future of the HUMVEE light tactical vehicle at the Association of the U.S. Army (AUSA) Global Force Symposium & Exposition at the Von Braun Convention Center in Huntsville, AL. As the HUMVEE platform celebrates its 40th year of production, the company, in collaboration with defense industry leaders, showcased features focusing on passenger ergonomics and safety, improved vehicle mobility, and increased capabilities for multiple missions to build upon the next 40 years.
“The Future Driven HUMVEE concept encapsulates the company's innovative spirit and our understanding that continuous improvement isn't just a cliché,” says Jim Cannon, AM General President and CEO. “We're excited for our customers to see our vision for how we will improve the Warfighter's safety with a cutting-edge restraint system and increase the vehicle's capabilities for mission success!”
The HUMVEE 4-CT on display came equipped with a state-of-the-art restraint system from IMMI, a global leader in advanced safety solutions. The MARS (MBrace and RollTek System) represents the next level in safety, setting a new standard for occupant protection in military vehicles. Additionally, the vehicle features lethality and protection capabilities with a Kongsberg Remote Weapon Station, Protector SR4, and a vehicle-mounted counter drone protection system from Axon, DedroneOnTheMove. The Future Driven HUMVEE is a testament to industry collaboration and a joint vision for improving a battle-proven and iconic platform that will continue to be fielded in the light tactical vehicle fleet for years to come.
