Abstract

The Enhanced Heavy Equipment Transporter System (EHETS) is the replacement system for the Heavy Equipment Transporter System (HETS). It is intended to transport, deploy, and evacuate the latest and future combat configured M1A2 MBT vehicles and provide a maximum payload transport capacity of 90 tons. It will provide increased payload, highway transportability, and force protection over its predecessor and support flexible theatre postures to enhance the ability to compete and provide the transport for freedom of maneuver during combat. FY 2021 Project 659 Base funds in the amount of $5.635 million supports the Enhanced Heavy Equipment Transporter System (EHETS) new production prototype trailers under a competitive down-select. The EHETS supports the National Defense Strategy for modernization with an increased payload that provides the ability for transport, recovery and evacuation of heavy, oversized combat equipment such as the M1A2 Abrams main battle tank (MBT) and M88 recovery vehicle to support flexible theater postures and enhance the ability to compete and provide the transport for freedom of maneuver of the largest track combat weapon systems. In accordance with Section 1815 of the FY 2008 National Defense Authorization Act (P.L. 110-181), this item is necessary for use by the active and reserve components of the Armed Forces for homeland defense missions, domestic emergency responses, and providing military support to civil authorities.
