Most armoured vehicles are used for reconnaissance and patrol purposes, and without exception, the M1114 light tactical vehicle in the US Army also assumes this role. The M1114, equipped with special protective armor, proved to be very practical in actual combat in Somalia and can reduce the casualties of the crew in the action, and gradually became a popular equipment after the Gulf War in 2003. The M1114 armored structure used in the early battlefields in Iraq and Afghanistan has been complained of inadequate protection for roadside improvised explosive devices and mines. So they have been upgraded with the new FRAG-5 and FRAG-6 combo armor sets that are produced by British Aerospace Corporation and are composed of Chobham hybrid armor technology and bulletproof glass. However, this additional device increases the weight of the car by nearly 1 metric ton, and the additional weight is indeed a severe test for the car's suspension system. For this it also increases the width by nearly 2 feet. The M1114 HA heavy armor type is mainly used in Iraq, and it is also used in the battlefield in Afghanistan.
