The M1152A1 HMMWV (Humvee) is an improved cargo/troop carrier configuration of the HMMWV family, used primarily to transport personnel, but could also be used as a shelter carrier. The M1152A1 as the other members of the HMMWV is manufactured by the American Company AM General. The first production of the M1152A1 was started in 2004. As an Expanded Capacity Vehicle, the M1152 is specifically designed for use over all types of roads, as well as cross-country terrain, and in all weather conditions without sacrificing mobility, dependability or performance.

| Design and protection |
The layout of the M1152A1 is similar to the basic variant of the HMMWV with the engine at the front, crew compartment in the middle and large cargo area at the rear. There is a front cabin with two seats and a cargo area at the rear. The M1152 can carry up to eight passengers with the Armor Troop Enclosure or Troop Seat option. The M1152A1 could be fitted with a default A-Kit armor package, with the option of addition B-Kit packages offering more protection. The B-Kit for 2-door cargo/troop carrier HMMWVs, known as the B2 kit, included perimeter armor, overhead armor, and rear ballistic bulkhead, bringing the vehicle up to a similar level of protection as the M1114. The B2 kit required an aluminum roof/rear panel. Frag Kits could also be installed. With the addition of the “B” kit, the M1152A1 provides gapless mine and ballistic protection. The additional armor and fragmentation kits are field installable and removable to provide flexibility for missions that do not require heavy protection. The M1152 payload varies by armor configuration and fragmentation kit, ranging from 3,340 (1.500 kg) to 5,100 lb (2.300 kg).
