Транспортна система за тежко оборудване (HETS) is a logistics vehicle transport system that is used by the U.S. Army and other countries to transport heavy vehicles and equipment, such as tanks, armored personnel carriers, self-propelled artillery, and armored bulldozers. The main purpose of HETS is to transport the M1 Abrams tank, which is the main battle tank of the U.S. Army.
HETS consists of a tractor unit and a semi-trailer that can carry up to 70 tons of load. The tractor unit is an Oshkosh M1070, which has an 8×8 configuration and a powerful engine. The semi-trailer is a DRS Technologies M1000, which has a hydraulic system that allows it to adjust its height and length. HETS can transport, deploy, and evacuate heavy vehicles and equipment in various terrains and conditions. HETS can also be air-transported by C-5 Galaxy or C-17 Globemaster III aircraft. HETS is an essential component of the U.S. Army’s mobility and readiness.
