Rock Island Arsenal – Joint Manufacturing and Technology Center is once again improving Soldier protection on the battlefield. RIA-JMTC’s most recent program in this endeavor is the Heavy Equipment Transporter (HET) Urban Survivability Kit (HUSK). The HET is a military logistics vehicle designed to transport, deploy and evacuate heavy military vehicles. With its semitrailer (HETS), it is able to transport vehicles as large as the M1A2 Abrams tank. The HUSK is the replacement cab for the HETS. The new design eliminates the need for add-on kits by having a fully replaceable armored cab, providing greater protection for the Soldier. (U.S. Army photo by Debralee Best/RIA-JMTC)
