Army replaces Humvee with a faster, more affordable vehicle
The U.S. Army is replacing the 40-year-old Humvee with a lighter, faster, and cheaper vehicle called the Infantry Squad Vehicle, based on a commercial Chevrolet Colorado, to enhance mobility and agility for future combat scenarios, especially against threats like drones and IEDs. The new vehicle sacrifices armor for speed and ease of repair, reflecting a strategic shift towards rapid deployment and technological integration in modern warfare.
