[[File: M1114 cruising by mrkoww.jpg|thumb|An M1114 with a [[Kevlar]]-wrapped turret returns from a combat logistics patrol (CLP) mission to CAMP Adder]]
In late 1995, the production of the M1114 based on the improved ECV chassis began. The M1114 meets Army requirements for a scout, military police, and explosive ordnance disposal vehicle with improved ballistic protection levels. The M1114 provides protection against 7.62&nbsp;mm armor-piercing projectiles, 155&nbsp;mm artillery air bursts and {{convert|12|lb|abbr=on}} anti-tank mine blasts.

In June 1996, the U.S. Army purchased an initial 390 M1114s for operations in Bosnia. The U.S. Air Force has several M1114 vehicles that differ in detail from the U.S. Army model. Under the designation M1116, the type was specifically designed and tailored to the needs of the U.S. Air Force.<ref name="Jane's Logistics, Support & Unmanned 2015-2016 AM General High Mobility Multipurpose Wheeled Vehicle (HMMWV)"/> The M1116 features an expanded cargo area, armored housing for the turret gunner, and increased interior heating and air conditioning system. The M1114 and M1116 received armor at [[O'Gara-Hess & Eisenhardt]] Armoring Company of [[Fairfield, Ohio]].  The M1145 offers the protection of the M1114 and M1116 for Air Force [[List of United States Air Force support squadrons|Air Support Operations Squadrons]] (ASOS).  Designed to protect Forward Air Controllers, modifications include perimeter ballistic protection, overhead burst protection, IED protection, mine blast protection, and 'white glass' transparent armor.<ref>[http://www.hmmwvinscale.com/hmmwvvariants.htm HMMWV in Scale] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130207014003/http://www.hmmwvinscale.com/hmmwvvariants.htm |date=7 February 2013}} – Hmmwvinscale.com</ref> Before the introduction of the latest armored HMMWV variants, and between 1993 and June 2006, Armor Holdings produced more than 17,500 armored HMMWVs (more than 14,000 between 2003 and 2007), all but about 160 of the earliest models were M1114, with smaller numbers of M1116 and M1045.<ref name="Jane's Logistics, Support & Unmanned 2015-2016 AM General High Mobility Multipurpose Wheeled Vehicle (HMMWV)"/> The extended capacity HMMWVs, such as the M1165 can drive over an {{convert|18|in|mm|abbr=on}} vertical wall and carry a {{convert|6820|lb|kg|abbr=on}} payload.<ref>{{Cite web |url=http://www.amgeneral.com/files/specs-sheet-m1165-int.pdf |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140825032502/http://www.amgeneral.com/files/specs-sheet-m1165-int.pdf |url-status=dead |title=M1165 spec sheet |archive-date=25 August 2014}}</ref>

* [[Bulgaria]] – Bulgarian HMMWVs have been fitted with [[PK machine gun|PKS]] general-purpose machine guns. Bulgaria usually replaces Western machine guns on its vehicles to simplify maintenance, since the country is an active producer of Russian or Soviet-origin weapons.
* [[China]] - [[Dongfeng EQ2050|EQ2050/SQF2040]] – See also [[Humvee clone manufacturing in China]]. Early generations of the vehicle are license-built [[Hummer H1]], while later generations of the vehicles are of indigenous design. The licensed-built version rely on imported U.S.-made parts, including the chassis, gearbox, and diesel engine, while it gradually increase the percentage of indigenous-made content on the vehicles recently since China's [[People's Liberation Army]] is unlikely to accept any equipment that relies largely on foreign-made parts.
* [[Egypt]] – [[Arab Organization for Industrialization|AOI]] equips HMMWVs with anti-armor weaponry, including TOW, Milan, or HOT missiles.
* [[Georgia (country)|Georgia]] – Georgian HMMWVs have been fitted with PK general-purpose machine guns.
* [[Greece]] – Greek HMMWVs, built entirely by [[ELVO]] in Greece, are equipped to fire the Russian [[9M133 Kornet]] [[ATGM]]. They have a storage room for 10 missiles. Another version, the M1115GR, is equipped with the [[Heckler & Koch GMG|HK GMG 40]].

Mexican HMMWVs are similar to the US-built models but are slightly longer. They feature a standard selective shift automatic transmission connected to a Mercedes Benz diesel engine and an anti-spalling layer in the passenger cabin. Many are equipped with bulletproof windows and a layer of armor unique to these Mexican HMMWVs. In 2010, Mexico displayed a wagon variant with a second gun hatch to cover the rear of the vehicle.<ref name="youtube.com" /> This version also featured a more powerful [[V12 engine]] and civilian road wheels to increase top speed capabilities in urban areas.

* [[Poland]] – [[Polish Land Forces]] operate 222 HMMWVs (5 unknown variants are operated by [[Polish Special Forces]]). Over 200 are used by the 18th Airborne Battalion which is a part of the 6th Airborne Brigade.

===Survivable Combat Tactical Vehicle===
[[File:USMC-09503.jpg|thumb|Marine Corps inspected SCTV Humvee, 2010]]

Textron's Survivable Combat Tactical Vehicle (SCTV) is a protective capsule that can increase Humvee survivability to MRAP levels while significantly improving mobility. The modifications come in five kits, but all five need to be installed before the vehicle can be properly called an SCTV.  The vehicle features a [[monocoque]] [[V-hull|V-shaped hull]] and angled sides to help deflect [[rocket-propelled grenade]]s (RPGs) with scalable levels of protection.  It has greater engine power, replacing the 6.5-liter diesel engine with a [[Cummins (corporation)|Cummins]] 6.7-liter diesel and [[Allison Transmission|Allison]] 6-speed transmission, as well as a stronger suspension, improved brakes, higher ground clearance, and new onboard instrumentation.  Fuel capacity is increased from {{convert|27|to|40|usgal|abbr=on}} and the battery and fuel cells are moved from under the rear seat to the rear of the vehicle.  Also included are a powerful air conditioner and heating system, [[run-flat tire]]s, a thermal guard liner under the roof, sharp edges removed from inside the cabin, blast attenuating seats, and a folding gunner's turret allowing rapid deployment from a cargo aircraft or shipboard below deck.  Although heavier than the Humvee, the SCTV is half the weight and costs $150,000 less than a comparably survivable MRAP.  The basic version is a four-passenger armament carrier, but it can be configured as a nine-passenger troop carrier, air-defense vehicle, flatbed cargo truck, or field ambulance depending on the type of Humvee it is converted from.<ref name="armyreco21oct14"/><ref name="defensenews13oct15">[http://www.defensenews.com/story/defense/show-daily/ausa/2015/10/13/textron-pitches-upgrade-extend-life-surplus-humvees/73889414/ Textron Pitches Upgrade To Extend Life of Surplus Humvees] – Defensenews.com, 13 October 2015</ref><ref name="defenseone13oct15">[http://www.defenseone.com/technology/2015/10/ukraines-humvees-are-about-get-more-armor/122772/?oref=d-skybox In a Groundbreaking Deal, Ukraine May Buy US Armor for Its Humvees] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20151015234334/http://www.defenseone.com/technology/2015/10/ukraines-humvees-are-about-get-more-armor/122772/?oref=d-skybox |date=15 October 2015}} – Defenseone.com, 13 October 2015</ref>

Work began on the SCTV in 2008 in anticipation of U.S. military upgrades, but it was shelved once they made the JLTV a priority.  Textron then focused on selling the SCTV upgrade package to up to 25 countries operating the global fleet, a potential market of up to 10,000 vehicles.  The upgrade can enhance the survivability of previously soft-skinned versions, sometimes sold by the U.S. as Excess Defense Articles, while costing and weighing less than a comparable MRAP.  By 2015, Colombia had installed the SCTV into three Humvees for testing, and Ukraine had shown interest in upgrading their old-model Humvees recently supplied by the U.S.<ref name="defensenews13oct15"/><ref name="defenseone13oct15"/><ref>[http://www.dodbuzz.com/2015/10/14/textron-shops-humvee-capsules-to-overseas-customers/ Textron Shops Protective Humvee ‘Capsules’ Abroad] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20151016023052/http://www.dodbuzz.com/2015/10/14/textron-shops-humvee-capsules-to-overseas-customers/ |date=16 October 2015}} – DoDBuzz.com, 14 October 2015</ref> Ukraine ordered three SCTVs in February 2016.<ref>{{Cite web |url=https://investor.textron.com/news/news-releases/press-release-details/2016/Textron-Systems-to-Provide-Ukraine-with-Survivable-Combat-Tactical---Vehicles-SCTV/default.aspx |title=TEXTRON SYSTEMS TO PROVIDE UKRAINE WITH SURVIVABLE COMBAT TACTICAL VEHICLES (SCTV™) |date=2016-02-01 |website=investor.textron.com}}</ref>
