This proves that if you get away from the unions and bloated gold-plated contracts of the defense industry giants, small entrepreneurs can produce an equal or better product, on schedule and under budget.
Cool! Does it come in red? :)
What or who is the crowd?
Doesn’t look like a functional military vehicle
Re-inventing the wheel. The problem was solved 30 years ago.
The good guys always win, even in the eighties.
Almost reminiscent of the story of the development of the Jeep - in which a tiny, unknown, manufacturer (Willys?), came up with the quintissential military light vehicle in weeks, when the big ‘usual suspect’ military contractors had struggled - and failed - for years....
That is a concept vehicle, it is not the real thing, nothing more than a fiberglass shell set on a dune buggy frame.
Its an ATV with a cabin?
Bastard spawn of somethin and a Pontiac Aztec
I was out at the 9th Infantry (Motorized) Division in 1986 and saw all the “Fast Attack” stuff they were experimenting with. The original FAV sure captured everybody’s imagination, until they rolled over constantly with the .50cal mounted so high. Same with the HMMWVs with TOWs and those launcher/tracker units were EXPENSIVE.
Everybody wants to build a hella-kewl “military” vehicle prototype just to remind the public (and the DOD) that they’re still alive.
Wow, the radio controller for this must be huge.
looks cool, but also a) vulnerable - no armor, b) weak - no weaponry, and c) clumsy - I imagine getting in and otu of it in a hurry, with full gear would be problematic.
may be great for the 4x4 crowd, but I’m not sure I’d like to be in enemy country in that.
Where do you mount the CROWS?
I will take one with the digital woodland paint job and the Ma Deuce option.
