Dreaming? You mean hallucinating dontcha? LOL........Can I have some? 

I mean some of what you're eating so I can hallucinate too?

Nice lookin vehicle, but that seems to make too much sense to be a platform that would be considered here.......

If there was even the remotest chance of it happening, it would be the new MILITIA (total force) recce vehicle a la Bison. :

more bells and whistles on this thing but - pretty cool

At the looks of it, the Mowag Eagle is a much larger vehicle.

Look's neat, but the engine scares me.  When they say "propulsion" for a land vehicle I get alarmed.  I'd be happy if we had enough green vehicles of any kind for the Reserves that had dual installations.

Hopefully our Coyotes will be getting a new sensor suite along the lines of the one listed here.  I've heard rumblings from the tech guys.

Hell, a single installation would be nice and don't forget the amps for the veh mounts. They won't give us those either ;D

Just for comparison:

Mowag Eagle:                                                                      Shadow:
Length: 4.90 m (191 inches).                                                  5.45  m
Width: 2.28 m (89 inches).                                                    2.057 m  (Less when preped for Tpt  1.674  m)
Height: 2.35 m (91 inches).                                                    1.674 m
Weight: 5.000 kg (11.000 lb)                                            3,629      kg

And the short list is?
1.  RST-V
2.  Fennek
3.  VBL  (the "Low tech solution for 'The Mo'" bid).

As long as we're dreaming why don't we get the V-22 Osprey so that we can be air Mobile with our new shadow's

"As long as we're dreaming why don't we get the V-22 Osprey so that we can be air Mobile with our new shadow's"

- Because this is not an avn thread.  If you want to dream Recce, think of the micro-UAV you might get.  If you bring you own glue, and the UAV box says "Revell" or "Tamiya" on the side.
