Its an Armored cab version of the FMTV. The LSAC, Low Signature Armored Cab.

From
http://www.globalsecurity.org/military/systems/ground/images/fmtv-lsac_armored-cabs.jpg

"Stewart & Stevenson Tactical Vehicle Systems, LP
(TVS) designs, manufactures and supports the
Family of Medium Tactical Vehicles (FMTV) for the
US Army and other customers worldwide. Stewart &
Stevenson has recently developed the Low
Signature Armored Cab (LSAC), which adds
ballistic and mine blast protection for the crew
in a purpose built cab that can be interchanged
with a standard FMTV cab in 8 hours. The Low
Signature Armored Cab provides survivability for
the occupants during direct small arms fire
attack, artillery airburst, land mine strike, or
attack from Improvised Explosive Devices (IED)."
