The Highly Survivable Urban Utility Vehicle (HSUUV) redistributes armor in a unique way on a truck type wheeled vehicle so as to defeat Improvised Explosive Devices (IED) to include armor piercing weapons. In so doing, this approach adds significant amounts of armor where it is needed the most, and does so without a significant net weight penalty. This approach of using vehicles capable of carrying heavy side armor was previously not attempted with wheeled vehicles, now provides crew compartments with levels of protection never previously achieved on wheeled vehicles. Using the HSUUV system approach, soldiers can safely and quickly enter areas with an unprecedented amount of survivability and flexibility, allowing for better strategic force protection and tactical operations.
