The Gao said in its recent report that the High mobility multipurpose wheeled vehicle informally called the Hummer cannot effectively operate in combat conditions because of the problems. Sen. William Roth r-del., chairman of the sen ate committee on governmental affairs said last week that the watchdog Agency warned that the problems had been disclosed in tests in 1982. How Ever in 1983, before the problems were solved the defense department went ahead with a $1.2 billion contract to Start production of 55,000 vehicles. The Hummer is a Good example of the tendency of the Pentagon to Rush into production before adequate operational testing has taken place and problems in the prototypes have been worked out Roth said. Although Many of the problems have been corrected this vehicle is not ready for combat he said. The vehicle weighs 1.25 tons and at an average Cost of $25,000, is designed to replace cargo trucks weapons carriers and ambulances. The army suspended deliveries of the vehicle on feb. 3 because of faulty brakes and problems with insulation. The vehicle must be capable of operating on two Fiat tires for 30 Miles. The Gao said tests show the vehicle can meet this requirement but that the tire is too often severely damaged. The army is working to improve the design.
