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 mm armor-piercing projectiles, 155 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}} β 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> [[File:M1165a1 (22057048871).jpg|thumb|M1165A1, Aviation Nation 2014 US Air Show β Nellis AFB, Las Vegas]] *M1113 shelter carrier β base for special operations vehicles and communications shelter carriers<ref name="AM General ECV">{{cite web|url=http://www.amgeneral.com/vehicles/hmmwv/expanded-capacity|title=AM General ECV|publisher=AM General|access-date=2015-10-23|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20151011141326/http://www.amgeneral.com/vehicles/hmmwv/expanded-capacity|archive-date=11 October 2015|url-status=dead}}</ref> *M1114 up-armored armament carrier *M1115 TOW carrier (no evidence of fielding) *M1116 U.S. Air Force up-armored armament carrier *M1121 TOW carrier *M1145 U.S. Air Force [[Forward air control|FAC]] *[[M1151|M1151 enhanced armament carrier]] (up-armored capable) *M1152 enhanced troop/cargo/shelter carrier (up-armored capable) *M1165 up-armored HMMWV *M1167 up-armored TOW carrier<ref>{{cite web|url=https://warwheels.net/HummerM1167ITAS-TOWmissileCarrierindex.html|title=M1167 HMMWV Expanded Capacity TOW Missile ITAS Carrier}}</ref> [[File: Hybrid Humvee.jpg|thumb|An M1113 Humvee chassis-mounted XM1124 hybrid-electric diesel-series hybrid-powered HMMWV, September 2009]] *Composite HMMWV β a prototype developed by [[TPI Composites]] of [[Rhode Island]] and AM General.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.tmcnet.com/usubmit/2007/07/20/2800594.htm |title=TPI Composites and Armor Holdings Unveil Army's First All-Composite Military Vehicle |website=TMCnet.com |date=2007-07-20 |access-date=2010-11-27 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20071015132956/http://www.tmcnet.com/usubmit/2007/07/20/2800594.htm |archive-date=15 October 2007 |url-status=live}}</ref> The purpose of the concept vehicle is to reduce the vehicle's weight so that it may more easily carry an up armor kit.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.tpicomposites.com/?id=21&uudis=6 |title=TPI Composites engineers, fabricates and builds large scale composite structures and composite components for the wind energy, military, and transportation markets |publisher=Tpicomposites.com |access-date=2010-11-27 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070928203328/http://www.tpicomposites.com/?id=21&uudis=6 |archive-date=28 September 2007 |url-status=live}}</ref> TPI's all-composite HMMWV saves approximately {{convert|900|lb}} when compared to a current steel and aluminum HMMWV.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://home.businesswire.com/portal/site/google/index.jsp?ndmViewId=news_view&newsId=20070720005465&newsLang=en |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070930034944/http://home.businesswire.com/portal/site/google/index.jsp?ndmViewId=news_view&newsId=20070720005465&newsLang=en |url-status=dead |archive-date=2007-09-30 |title=TPI Composites and Armor Holdings Unveil Army's First All-Composite Military Vehicle |publisher=Home.businesswire.com |date=2007-07-20 |access-date=2010-11-27}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.defense-update.com/newscast/0707/news_200707.htm#hmmwv |title=Defense Update Newscast β 200707 |publisher=Defense-update.com |access-date=2010-11-27 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180428202311/http://www.defense-update.com/newscast/0707/news_200707.htm#hmmwv |archive-date=28 April 2018 |url-status=dead}}</ref> *A prototype XM1124 hybrid-electric Humvee on an M1113 Humvee chassis powered by a diesel-series hybrid featuring an all-electric drive train has been developed by [[RDECOM/TARDEC]].
