The HMMWV, High Mobility Multipurpose Wheeled Vehicle  history, had its beginning in 1979 when the U.S. Army drafted a final specification for a vehicle to replace the aging jeep from WWII and opened up competition to build it. Three companies competed for the first order and AM General won the initial contract in 1983 for 2334 vehicles. The original M998 had a curb weight of 5,200 lbs. with a payload weight of 2,500 lbs., and a 6.2 L diesel engine and a three-speed transmission.

From its beginning, the HMMWV was never designed to offer protection against small arms fire and other threats, the HMMWV was designed primarily for personnel and light cargo “transport” behind front lines, and not as a Front Line Fighting Vehicle.  But as time went on with the rise of asymmetric warfare and low intensity conflicts like the Balkans during the 1990’s and Somalia beginning in 1992, the HMMWV was pressed into service in urban conflicts and was required to be armored to some degree.

The military then recognized a need for a more protected HMMWV and AM General developed the M1114 in 1996 - an armored HMMWV to withstand small arms fire. With the onset of the Iraq War in 2003 however, HMMWV’s proved to be very vulnerable to IEDs and other large caliber threats. To increase protection, the U.S. military hastily added-on armor “kits” to the vehicles. Although this somewhat improved survivability, “bolting on armor” made the HMMWV very heavy for its design and put a lot of strain on the chassis, which led to the unreliability of the HMMWV vehicle itself due to “overloading”.

In 2004 our strategic partner was involved in the HMMWV program by direction of the U.S. Army. While the Army was developing the M1151 model of the HMMWV as a replacement for the M1114, the Product Manager for Light Tactical Vehicles directed the simultaneous development of the Risk Reduction Vehicle, or “RRV”. The first RRV was built in extremely short order and the RRV later became what is now called, the XM1166. This XM1166 variant of the HMMWV included a great amount of improvements to the vehicle, including for the first time a semimonocoque, welded construction, “Survivability Capsule” with a built in “Roll Cage” to protect its crew and passengers.

After the XM1166 vehicles were developed and built, they spent the balance of the years in the Iraq War with both the United States Army and the United States Marine Corps. The vehicles performed very well and there were no reported injuries or problems. In all categories, the XM1166 made numerous huge improvements over the M1151 and M1152 HMMWV vehicle.

Now, the Doberman builds upon the success and improvements of the XM1166 and the standard HMMWV vehicle by positively transforming the vehicle from a personnel and light cargo transport vehicle, which it was originally intended to be, to the Front Line Fighting Vehicle that it is today.

DOBERMAN SAFETY AND PROTECTION IMPROVEMENTS

Among the many important HMMWV improvements that the TAG Doberman RAAV vehicle made over the 1151 and 1152 vehicles were those relating to the safety and protection of the crew. For the first time in a “HMMWV style” vehicle, a semi monocoque welded construction “survivability capsule” with a built in “roll cage” to protect its crew and passengers was made an integral part of the vehicle.

This survivability capsule is constructed from 2-inch-thick Aluminum Armor, which completely replaced the “thin sheet metal cab” of the HMMWV vehicle. The 2-inch-thick Aluminum Armor survivability capsule also provides for “many areas and types of protection” that the HMMWV vehicle has never had before.

These areas and types of protection improvements include:

• Roll over protection
• Vehicle crash and severe accident protection
• Aluminum Armor “ballistic” protection
• Blast and Improvised Explosive Device “fragmentation” protection
• When equipped because it’s sealed, Nuclear Biological and Chemical protection
• Molotov cocktail protection - the vehicle area is completely sealed
• Extreme Riot and “Urban Insurrection” protection against violent rioters operating in mass uncontrolled violent crowds, or organized rebellions, with huge amounts of weapons that might be available to them over a vast area

These types of Doberman  vehicle crew safety protections and capabilities have never been available in HMMWV vehicles, and are not in the 1151 or 1152 vehicles of today.

DOBERMAN VALUE ADDED IMPROVEMENTS

The Doberman provides many value-added improvements including the Doberman Survivability Capsule and Roll Cage and many other significant improvements that are detailed in the “Doberman" vs HMMWV 1151

• 1152 Specification Comparison” in the following pages. In order to provide these substantial improvements, the TAG Doberman RAAV utilizes many upgraded vehicle systems and components. Many of these systems and components are “high-tech” and advanced technologies and come at a premium price to provide the highest level of performance, protection, and

Some of the “higher cost” major systems and/or components that make the  Doberman a better vehicle and worth more in value include the following:

•      High Strength, Ballistic Aluminum Armor

Improvements in survivability and safety for the crew due to the high strength aluminum armor material. This material is truly an aluminum armor designed for use on military vehicles and not a typical “beer can” grade of aluminum as used on the original HMMWV.

•      Thicker, Clear Transparent Armor (Ballistic Glass)

Improvements in survivability for the windshield and door glass is made possible by the unique, thicker but very clear transparent armor recipe (ballistic glass) that is used on the TAG Doberman RAAV.

•      “High Weight Capacity” Chassis

Improvements to payload capacity from 3,020 lbs. to 6,700 lbs., a 121% increase over the original HMMWV. Improvements to the maximum Gross Vehicle Weight (GVW) capacity due to the upgraded chassis from 13,450 lbs. on the 1151 and 1152 to the TAG Doberman RAAV of 21,500 lbs.

•      All-Wheel Drive “Differential-Locking” Axles

Improvements from the Upgraded Axles which can “lock” side to side during off-road operations when vehicle traction is a must for crew safety and mission success

•      High-Strength Transfer Case

Improvements from the new improved Transfer Case with an “inter-axle differential” which allows for “full time four-wheel drive” eliminating chances of “skidding” for vehicle crew safety on slippery road surfaces, and with its “very deep” 3.75:1 ratio low ratio has a much easier ability of climbing steep grades and other off-road challenges for crew safety in operations and missions

• Upgraded Heavy-Duty Suspension with more wheel travel Improvements from the wheel travel due to the Upgraded Axles and independent suspension which take the original HMMWV wheel travel of 8 inches up to 11 inches of wheel travel, a 38% increase, for much greater speeds and “vehicle control” during off-road operations for safety
• Higher Performance Cummins Engine and Allison Transmission Improvements from the new 250 Hp Multi Fuel Diesel Engine with its improved torque, fuel mileage, vehicle range, acceleration, grade ability and vehicle load and towing capacity. Improvements from the Allison 6 speed Transmission with its improved gear ranges with 6 speeds for going up or down grades, towing, fuel mileage and vehicle fuel range. Improvements from the increased top speed of 78.4 mph in pursuit, mission times, or rescuing other people or vehicles that might be in imminent danger or in need of help

•      Mine-Blast Seats with Quick-Release 4-Point Seat Belts

Improvements in extensively-tested seats used in the TAG Doberman RAAV provides for mine-blast protection to better provide protection for the crew during an under body attack or if the vehicle is launched in the air.

Improvements in the 4-Point Restraint seat belts allow better protection for the crew in an accident or roll-over situation, but also allow the crew to very quickly get out of the seat belts in an emergency.

•      Higher Performance Large Disc Brakes

Improvements to the safety of the vehicle crew and other vehicles from 30% larger brakes for much safer, shorter, braking distances.

•      Integrated Central Tire Inflation System (CTIS)

Improvements to vehicle mobility and tire life due to the Central Tire Inflation System (CTIS), which allows the tires to be inflated, or deflated, depending on road conditions or off-road ground conditions at any time during operations or missions

•      High Performance Tires with Low Ground Pressure

Improvements in tires allow for the Doberman to obtain higher vehicle speeds while still allowing for a higher weight vehicle with additional payload or armor protection.

In summary, these “Value Added Improvements” and “higher cost” vehicle systems and components give “huge improvements” to a “HMMWV style” vehicle and its mission capabilities, as well as “huge improvements” to the vehicle’s crew safety and personal protection. All of these features allow the Doberman to be a First Responder Rescue Vehicle… a “do anything, go anywhere vehicle” that can be depended on to “be there” whenever it’s needed, at any time of day, or in any  weather condition that it may be faced with, or any disaster or emergency whatsoever, no matter what.

Several vehicles available, inquire at 602-840-2271

Opaque Armor

• Five-sided armoring of passenger compartment using certified ballistic steel plating to defeat high-powered rifle fire which meets or exceeds CEN level B6. (please refer to ballistics info in section 4.0 of this document).
• Floor is fitted with steel blast protection to protect occupants against fragmentation from simultaneous detonation of 2 DM-51 German ordnance hand grenades or equivalent.
• Armoring included on kick panels, rear wheel wells, firewall, A, B, and C door pillars and posts.
• Armor consists of welded certified ballistic grade steel construction.
• The interior frame, constructed of certified ballistic grade steel, provides overlap and backup protection for the large-surface principal impact areas such as the doors and windows and reinforces the structural integrity of the pillars and other key areas.
• Vehicle armoring shall be constructed in such a way as to ensure that a projectile following a linear or angled path shall not enter the vehicle’s interior without contacting the armor material.  In addition to this, the possibility of a projectile entering the vehicle’s interior due to a ricochet from the armor shall also be minimized.

Transparent Armor

•       Side glass to be mounted in a ballistic frame and attached to the inside of the vehicle door if spacing allows.  In the event that this becomes too restrictive on the spacing required for passenger comfort, the glass shall be attached to the outside portion of the doors as is common on the U.S. model Hummer.

Doors

• Armor overlap at all doors to prevent penetration through door posts and pillars.
• Door pillars reinforced for maximum strength retention.
• Door hinges replaced when necessary with custom engineered heavy-duty hinges.
• Standard vehicle hinges will be re-used and reinforced whenever possible.
• Retainers located at all armored door openings to prevent over-extension during use.

Electrical

• All standard electrical equipment which has been altered during the armor conversion of this vehicle shall be tested and modified as necessary to protect against potential  malfunctions and/or hazards arising from the armoring process.

Interior

• All original OEM interior panels and trim will be resized or modified and re-installed wherever possible to obtain as close to an original look as possible. In order to accommodate armor placement, some panels may be custom made and/or re- designed completely at the discretion of the armorer and upon consultation with the client.

Brakes

• The original braking system on the supplied vehicle has been evaluated based on available information and should be suitable in it’s original configuration.
• Testing will be done post-conversion to ensure that there is no more than a 15% degradation in braking performance.   In the event of  a more substantial rate of degradation, braking systems shall be modified accordingly to compensate for any inordinate loss.

Suspension

• Along with the braking system, the suspension components of the vehicle shall be tested pre and post conversion to determine the rate of degradation from the original manufactured vehicle’s capabilities.
• In the event that a degradation of more than 15% in handling has been found; the suspension system shall be modified to compensate for this degradation and bring the vehicle’s handling characteristics to within the acceptable parameters of +/- 15% effectiveness from that of the original manufactured vehicle.

Tires and Run Flats

•             The supplied vehicle comes already equipped with a central tire inflation system which has proven to be an effective run-flat system in its own right during battlefield conditions and so, the vehicle will not be fitted with aftermarket run-flats as a part of the armoring process.

Additional Standard Armor Package Features

• Vehicle tire jack is replaced with a 10 ton capacity bottle-type hydraulic jack.
• Steel protection over fuel tank is standard on our vehicles.
• Hardened additional door risers installed when required to prevent sagging during use.
• Ballistic protection for engine ECM unit, under-hood fuse box and battery.

Iveco Eurocargo Chassis Features

The Iveco truck is versatile, efficient, and environmentally conscious – ideal for maneuvering the streets of bustling cities with precious cargo in the cab. With enhanced functionality, improved safety features, and a new chassis design, this truck is now one of the most robust and reliable choices for a CIT vehicle. Iveco got the inspiration for the new design from an in-depth study of aerodynamics, striving to make the truck more fuel-efficient.

The modernized cab is now more practical for drivers and passengers, with shapely new air deflectors, UV filter screen, and windscreen. The windscreen offers protection without the aerodynamic drag of a traditional exterior sunshade – boosting efficiency. The deflectors guide the flow of air around the chassis. The newly designed bumper has a handy step to clean the windscreen, simultaneously housing the advanced AEBS radar. A 2.1-meter cab width, 52-degree steering angle, and the best turning circle in its category top this impressive truck off.

The Iveco Eurocargo can host either a Tector 5 four-cylinder 4.5L diesel engine or a Tector 7 six-cylinder 6.7L diesel engine. Seven power levels offer from 160 to 320 horsepower. The three transmission options are a manual six- or nine-speed gearbox, a six- or 12-speed automatic transmission, or an automatic gearbox with torque converter. With continuous automatic Diesel Particulate Filter regeneration, the driver does not need to make periodic maintenance stops to manage heat stress.

Why Choose the Iveco Eurocargo?

As a CIT vehicle, this chassis is an efficient, practical, and worthwhile investment. The Armored Group, LLC, can fully equip the chassis with your choice of standard or add-on armoring packages. We have built CIT vehicles since 1992 and shipped them internationally, building a reputation as one of the top sources for armored cars in the world. We recommend the tough, sturdy, powerful Iveco Eurocargo as a CIT vehicle for passenger comfort, plenty of cargo space, and engine reliability. To find out more about this vehicle, contact us today.
