Last month , the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agencyintroduced what a next - propagation tank might look like . Known as the Ground X - Vehicle Technology ( GXV - T ) program , this experimental fomite is less like the traditional intemperately armored brutes typically on the field of battle . These are work up for speeding .
DARPA Wants To Make Tanks Sleeker , Faster — And Deadlier
In anew video , DARPA show off precisely how this new technical school might exploit in the field . As the military inquiry agency outlined in its initial proposal , these new “ tanks , ” though they ’re more akin to anenclosed Warthog fromHalo , aim to reduce the size and crowd by half while also nominate it twice as fast and able to cover almost all terrain .
As far as newfangled feature of speech are worry , the two major ones are “ Survivability through Agility , ” allowing quick bursts of speed to avoid incoming threats , and “ Crew Augmentation , ” which DARPA describes as electronic awareness and semi - autonomous drive aid . The video highlights the legerity attributes of the GXV - T via three different scenarios : rapid acceleration , dodging , and reactive armour plating , which look as a sci - fi as it sound .
All three ideas seem impressive and as unmanageable to achieve , not to mention the horrendous whiplash , but DARPA will be form on this construct vehicle for at least the next two year , meaning it ’ll be a while before we see anything concrete . For now , these digital renders will have satiate our imagination . [ Defense Tech ]
