M1025 HMMWV Armament Carrier

AM General's HMMWV (for High Mobility Multipurpose Wheeled Vehicle) replaced the US Military's Jeep-style vehicles in the 1970s. To date it serves U.S. forces all around the world in various configurations: personnel carrier, armored scout vehicle, police car, weapons carrier, ambulance, even air defense vehicle. 

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The HMMWV uses portal axles, allowing an axially delivered central tire inflation system.

There are at least 17 variants of the HMMWV in service with the United States armed forces. HMMWV serve as cargo/troop carriers, automatic weapons platforms, ambulances (four litter patients or eight ambulatory patients), M220 TOW missile carriers, M119 howitzer prime movers, M-1097 Avenger Pedestal Mounted Stinger platforms, MRQ-12 direct air support vehicles, S250 shelter carriers, and in other roles. It is capable of fording 2.5 ft (76 cm) normally, or 5 ft (1.5 m) with the deep-water fording kits installed.

Optional equipment includes a winch (maximum load capacity 6000 lb. (2700 kg)), and supplemental armor. The M1025 and M1043/M1044 armament carriers provide mounting and firing capabilities for the MK19 grenade launcher, the M2 heavy machine gun, the M240G/B machine gun and M249 SAW. The newly introduced M1114 "up-armored" HMMWV also features a similar weapons mount. In addition, some M1114 and M1116 up-armored and M1117 Armored Security Vehicle models feature a CROWS (common remotely operated weapon station), which allows the gunner to operate from inside the vehicle.
