Maybe the museum jumped the shark and knew something we didnt.

Which is something that any lawyer or contracts person in competitors will use to suggest the solicitation was rigged.

A good write-up on the Senator from the Canadian War Museum. Its gotta be the top contender at this point for LUV phase 2.

Roshel Senator MRAP

Introduced during the Cold War, the M113A2 TOW Under Armour (TUA) was intended to counter Warsaw Pact armoured vehicles.

Is the write up similar to other vehicles in the collection? Even if it's on loan , its part of the collection.

Interesting, I imagine the umbilical also has a power wire in it? I wonder how long the motors are rated for in continuous flight mode?

The cable is the power. We already use these.

How do these types of systems work? Are they piloted remotely from a ground station or is a route/grid programmed in and it self drives?

 

[Colin Parkinson]

I suspect a bit of both

The LSVW definitely was a downgrade over the 5/4 Chevy’s.

Bingo. It was a not very useful vehicle.

The old Chev 5/4 was one tough fuckin truck

Not sure of that one specifically.

Some are remote either wireless or tether. some ‘follow the leader’ based on some sort of signal “hands free” and other vary from pre-programmed route to pick it’s own path to Point B from the start line.
Some have a mix.

I know nothing about the reliability of any of the various options.
I’m always concerned for Mil use that lack of personnel will lead to issues with security and maintenance.
