In order to replace the Aequatian Armed Forces' fleet of American M998 HMMWV General Purpose Vehicles, Aequatian Automotive Industries has developed the Wolf HMMWV. Armoured with a Carbon-60/Tungsten composite that is superlaminated with a Bisplate Steel/Titanium alloy, the Wolf is better protected for combat situations than the original M998.
