The military vehicle developed for the US Army with the acronym HMMWV ( High Mobility Multipurpose Wheeled Vehicle ) universally known as the Humvee is representative of the technological evolution of US know-how applied to the creation of extremely flexible ‘all-condition' vehicles of which even the Willys is still an icon today. The Humvee went into production during the 1980s and is characterized by its large dimensions and operational flexibility due in part to the four-wheel drive and the robust structure which can withstand the most challenging operational and environmental conditions. Different versions were made for roles such as troop transport logistics advanced reconnaissance and target acquisition. The M966 Tow Carrier version was equipped with a Tow missile system mounted on the roof of the vehicle in order to increase the Humvee's offensive potential against tanks and other armored vehicles.
