ULTRA armored patrol vehicle info





Quote:
Survivability: This factor involves a vehicle’s ability to shield occupants from hostile action. The ULTRA AP will feature novel design concepts and research advances in lightweight and cost-effective armor to maximize capability and protection. The new armor was designed at GTRI in partnership with the Georgia Tech School of Materials Science and Engineering. The vehicle also incorporates a “blast bucket” designed to provide ballistic, blast and enhanced roll-over protection. New vehicle designs must incorporate dramatically increased resistance to explosions caused by mines and improvised explosive devices, Caille noted.Safety with Performance: The ULTRA design explored the use of on-board computers to integrate steering, suspension and brakes to provide an unparalleled level of mobility and safety, Caille added. The new vehicle’s integrated chassis represents an advancement over the most advanced
current production vehicles.

Doesn't look very practical. Without knowing more than I do, I think KISS applies here.

Anyone have an update on this toy? I remember another post about it oh, maybe 6 months back but nothing came of it I don't think. As PJ said, things that look spiffy in pictures and on the drawing board of college clasrooms rarely prove up to that level in the field.

Too many protrusions etc. You'll probably lose these in a blast?????
Seems very over engineered............
And HOW many people does it carry???
If it is only a couple then what is the point???
