Oh, I see. So they can trigger the embedded IED that much faster. Question: Does anyone know if there is the feasibility of some sort of radar like device that could detect IEDs in the road ahead? Couldn't they create a stripped down radar device like the ones used in fighters?It might be expensive but would be cheaper than the casualties plus the lost vehicle.

One of these would be useful in taming my driveway.

I believe you’d want to avoid the main roads or drive off road as much as possible.

I refuse to visualize the dignified men and women of our armed forces having slap-fights for the swing seat.
But they will. Oh, yes, because I sure as heck would have.

On second thought, this machine would be scared of my driveway.

Does anyone know if there is the feasibility of some sort of radar like device that could detect IEDs in the road ahead? They are going to have UAVs to do that. Look down capability and all that.

> but can fit up to nine warfighters
"Warfighters?" What the heck are "warfighters?" I know what "soldiers" are. (And in fact know quite a few "soldiers.") I even know what "G.I.s" were, and am proud to claim quite a few "devil dogs" in my lineage.
But...warfighters?!?! Are they like, "military persons?"

IED and RPG magnet. No armor. Open doors and windows. Bullet magnet. Pity the poor souls that ride that hearse.

If they want light and cheap, bring back the Mule. The wheeled one.

Does it come standard with an axe and shovel like the old jeeps did?

OMG - I want one! But, of course, I would never be able to afford one.

I think it should have been designed with some sort of push bars or bumpers as the most forward part of the vehicle and not have the winch leading the way.
You might have to help another vehicle by pushing or have to shove one out of the way.

Hey Sparky, did you miss the off road part or did you just not read the article?
