ATPD-2099E: HIGH MOBILITY MULTIPURPOSE WHEELED VEHICLE (HMMWV) PURCHASE DESCRIPTION
This is a system specification document issued by the U.S. Army Tank-automotive and Armaments Command establishing physical, performance, and inspection requirements for A2 series and Expanded Capacity Vehicle (ECV) series HMMWVs. The specification covers multiple vehicle variants including the M997A2 (ambulance), M1025A2 (utility/armament carrier), M1043A2/M1045A2 (supplemental armor variants), M1097A2 (heavy variant), and ECV series models including M1113, M1114, M1151, M1152, and M1165 with various armor packages. Key performance requirements include a 1,425 Mean Miles Between Failure (MMBF) rating for A2 series and 1,170 MMBF for ECV series, with reliability testing conducted over 20,000 miles combining 30% primary roads, 30% secondary roads, and 40% cross-country terrain. Vehicles must meet maintainability ratios of 0.080-0.170 man-hours per engine hour for A2 series and 0.100-0.212 for ECV series, with mean time to repair not exceeding 2.0 hours.
Vehicles must demonstrate capability to ascend 40% grades, traverse 30% side slopes, accelerate from 0-30 mph in 9.4 seconds, maintain 60 mph on-road and 16 mph cross-country speeds, ford 30 inches of water without preparation and 60 inches with kits, achieve 275-mile fuel range at GVW, and operate across temperature ranges from -50°F (with arctic kits) to +120°F ambient conditions. All vehicles require compliance with MIL-STD-1180 safety standards and FMVSS requirements with specified exceptions, plus additional requirements for corrosion resistance (15-year service life), electromagnetic interference standards (MIL-STD-461D), transportability by C5A/C130 aircraft and CH-47/CH-53 helicopters, and optional airdrop capability. Production Qualification Testing involves 20,000-mile durability evaluation and functional testing at Government proving grounds, with Quality Conformance Inspection and Control Testing conducted at the manufacturer's facility. The specification applies to procurement by the U.S. Army, Marine Corps, and Air Force, with all vehicles finished in three-color camouflage patterns and marked per MIL-STD-642.

PURCHASE DESCRIPTION
HIGH MOBILITY MULTIPURPOSE WHEELED VECHICLE
(HMMWV)
This specification is approved for use by the U.S. Army Tank-automotive and Armaments Command and is available for use by all Departments and Agencies of the Department of Defense.
1. SCOPE
1.1 Scope. This system specification identifies the physical, performance and inspection requirements for the A2 series and Expanded Capacity Vehicle (ECV) series of the High Mobility Multi-Purpose Wheeled Vehicles (HMMWV). Unless otherwise noted in this specification, the M1123 variant shall be included as part of the A2 series of vehicles. Also the M1151/M1152/M1165/M1167 shall be included as part of the ECV series of vehicles. In simple terms, the M1151 has the body of the M1025A2 and placed onto the chassis of the ECV; the M1152 has the body of the M1097A2 (2-man version) placed onto the chassis of the ECV; the M1165 has the body of the M1097A2 (4-man version) placed onto the chassis of the ECV; and the M1167 is the TOW/ITAS variant based off of the M1151. (See Addendum in rear.) The system specification establishes these requirements by identifying the following:
a. Technical data requirements from which the vehicle is to be produced.
b. Physical characteristics and performance requirements for the vehicles produced.
c. Identification of the performance and quality test requirements used to verify the vehicles meet the specified performance standards.
The technical data package provided as part of this system specification identifies specifications and installations at a component level. The TDP does not identify the performance requirements of the final assemblage of these components at the system level. The physical characteristics and performance requirements are identified by this specification. Therefore, this specification shall form the basis for establishing and evaluating the vehicle's physical characteristics and performance.
1.2 General Description. The A2 vehicles represent the third stage of HMMWV evolution. The ECV vehicles represent the fourth stage of HMMWV evolution. Like the basic HMMWV and A1 series, the A2 and ECV vehicles are comprised of many common components. The various models are defined by different body configurations designed to meet
ATPD 2099E
particular mission roles. These roles include transport of materials, weapon systems, equipment, and personnel. While operating in these roles the vehicles are operated on primary and secondary roads, trails and off road terrain. The vehicles are also capable of fording water and operation in temperatures ranging from Basic Cold to Basic Hot conditions. With application of kits, the vehicles are also capable of arctic operation and deep water fording. Some major changes for the A2 and ECV vehicles include:
1. 6.5 Liter Engine (Turbo for ECV)
2. 4L80 Electronic Transmission
3. New Radiator
4. New Exhaust w/Catalytic Converter
5. Central Tire Inflation System Ready
6. Improved Air Cleaner
