Miscellaneous Info:	As a result of the success of the new M1109 Heavy Uparmored Armament Carrier, AM General created the Expanded Capacity HMMWV (ECH); the name later being changed to the Expanded Capacity Vehicle (ECV). The ECV was also built using the M1097A2 Heavy HMMWV chassis but with additional improvements to further increase mobility and performance over the earlier HMMWV's. The most substantial improvements were uprated brakes, new cooling, exhaust and steering systems and a more powerful turbo-diesel engine. The vehicles in the ECV family are the 2-Door M1113 Cargo/Troop/Shelter Carrier (base vehicle), 4-Door M1114 Uparmored Armament Carrier, the U.S. Air Force's M1116 Uparmored Base Security/Personnel Carrier and M1145 Uparmored Forward Air Control Vehicle.  There are also references to an M1115 Uparmored TOW Missile Carrier, but we have not found any evidence it was ever produced.
