The company I work for builds some cool stuff - our newest military vehicle is the Tac-V.
It is meant to be deployed out of an Osprey- there were a lot of concerns about weight, weight distribution, flexibility, etc.
It has to go like a bat out of he!! over extremely rough terrain, up and down steps really fast, be able to go sideways on a 40 degree slope, and hit dirt roads at over 90 mph.
It is all modular - the side panels come off - they are hollow and can be fitted with armor, the roll bars can be removed or folded, it has to carry 1.5 tons in the bed.
The suspension travel is awesome - the a-arms actually cross over in the center of the vehicle.
Black Ops wanted one really, really bad - we only have the one prototype which is making the rounds, so this one can't be sold. However, we did find out their pockets weren't quite deep enough for us to build them another prototype...
When the video is approved for 'general' consumption I'll post it too...
And yes, I've been able to play...
