The M1113 ECV HMMWV had a gross vehicle weight of 11 , 500 pounds , which allowed the maneuver element to fully load the M56 and still pull a trailer . The turbocharged 190 horsepower engine provided excellent mobility . The smoke generating system provided 90 minutes of visual and 30 minutes of infrared obscuration without resupply . The visual and infrared screens could deny enemy reconnaissance , surveillance , and target acquisition ( RISTA ) devices information of troop strength , position , and movement and deny visual and infrared weapon systems kills on friendly combat units .
