Obrnený transporter M44 is modifikáciou obrneného the conveyor M39 developed on the chassis of the stíhača machines M18 Hellcat

Produkcia of iron armor transportérov M39 (prototype T41) sa began in októbri 1944 súbežne with the termination of production stíhačov machines M18. Parallel so serial production of the M39 sa in novembri 1944 began development of a new obrneného the conveyor (prototype označenie T13) využívajúceho podvozok tank M24 Chaffee pre 18-22 mužov (súbežne prebiehal behold the development of the conveyor-ťahača T33 on rovnakom chassis). The development of the T13 wasn't successful and was completed to 22.03.1945, but súčasne (05.04.1945) was approved by the alternatíva využívajúca podvozok M18 under názvom T16.

Model T16 vychádzal priamo transporter M39, pričom base change bola change vnútorného usporiadania of the vehicle. The prototype of the mal crew zloženú from three beds (veliteľ, wire and strelec from the interne lafetovaného guľometu) and allow prepraviť up to 24 beds in one veľkom prepravnom priestore, where boli umiestnené 4 bench (two benches pozdĺžen after bokoch and ďalšie dve in strede. In its part of the boli veľké door umožňujúce input and output, ďalšie door boli on the side.

The development of the bol rýchly and 12.04.1945 bol prototype T16 approved pre produkciu the first predsériových kusov. The first 6 kusov bolo pre pozemné sily supplied in the priebehu June 1945 and got označenie M44. Serial production nebola approved, nakoľko army sa after testoch vyjadrila that the capacity of the vehicle is zbytočne velka and requires a vehicle with polovičnou prepravnou capacity (10-12 beds).

31.10.1946 súhlasila army with modifikáciou M44 based on výsledkoch prvotných skúšok. Model M44E1 mal prepracovanú and about 25 cm vyššiu superstructure with hornými poklopmi, what allowed odstrániť flanking the door. The vehicle received a new, širšie belts and výkonnejší engine. Similar to ako at pôvodného of the vehicle, even dad modifikácia sa received a serial production. Model M44E2 bol similar to the ako M44E1 increased by 25 cm, but on the rozdiel from M44E1 bola dad modifikácia adopted in the arsenal of the USAF ako veliteľské point T17 Command Post Vehicle and bojovo nasadená during the the war in Kórei.
