THEORY OF OPERATION

GENERAL

The Heavy Expanded Mobility Tactical Trucks (HEMTT) Crew Protection Kit consists of two armored doors, roof

armor, windshield ballistic glass, three blast deflectors, one upper and one lower brush guard, forward and rear side armor pan-

els, rear cab armor panels, an armored louvered grille assembly, and an armored escape hatch.

The Door Armor Attachment Assembly consists of an armor panel bracket that is mounted to the existing door frame

and is bolted in place of the existing door’s hinge. The armored door assembly (which incorporates sliding ballistic glass) is

bolted to the hinge assembly on the armor panel. The roof armor panel is installed using the existing bolt hole pattern (used for

the machine gun mount) on the roof on the passenger side and the mounting brackets (front and rear) on the driver’s side. The

roof armor is a one-piece panel that requires material handling equipment (hoist, forklift, etc.) for installation due to its weight.

The remaining armor panels are fastened to the vehicle using attachment brackets and hardware. If the vehicle is

equipped with, or will be equipped with, C4ISR gear, use the Installation Instructions contained in WP 040 00.
