Note the high original position of the suitports. It would be known as the XHRV-1 ‘eXperimental HAZMAT Response Vehicle’.Īrtists rendering of the initial concept NASA-Ames-HAZMAT vehicle at the scene of a HAZMAT incident. In order to provide even more room, the final vehicle selected for a prototype was to be a longer bodied version with an additional roadwheel (6 instead of 5). NASA were familiar with this type of vehicle, already having four M113s in use as ‘ Armoured Rescuers‘. The ideal vehicle for the program was the M113-based M577A3 Command Post variant, as it was available, cheap, and provided plenty of internal space. Protected from fire, debris, and even explosions, and able to access remote or dangerous sites and still provide enough internal space for a crew and equipment. The concept would need a large simple vehicle on which to be mounted. Particularly, this system was seen as being of potential value to a cleanup response for a hazardous materials (HAZMAT) incident, whether accidental or the result of a criminal act. NASA had worked together with the Ames Research Center on a specialist suit portal for the NASA-Langley DOE Lunar Rover with the design having potential applications not just in space, but on Earth too. According to the Army, the event paired soldiers “with a team of industrial designers and Subject Matter Experts” to explore topics “from crew size to unmanned and autonomous considerations.” The team also “explored levels of desired lethality, mobility, and survivability applied to a number of concept platforms.United States of America/NASA (1994-1997) Army’s Ground Vehicle Systems Center at Detroit Arsenal. The event, a three-day workshop, was held in early October at the U.S. The Army plans to make a decision about if and how to replace the Abrams in 2023. The images seem to depict at least three concept tanks, including one behemoth that dwarfs the 70-ton Abrams. Army workshop show a very rough idea of a possible replacement for the long-serving M1 Abrams tank.
The new Optionally Manned Tank will be able to operate crewed or uncrewed on the future battlefield.Concept photos are blurred, but we can get an idea of the rough shape of the vehicles.Army workshop hold clues to what a replacement for the U.S.
