NEW ARMY GXV-T PROGRAM..TERRORIST BAD GUY HUNTERS VEHICLE <br />DARPA COPYRIGHT,under permission <br />audio Jason <br />GXV-T’s technical goals include the following improvements relative to today’s armored fighting vehicles: <br /> <br />Reduce vehicle size and weight by 50 percent <br />Reduce onboard crew needed to operate vehicle by 50 percent <br />Increase vehicle speed by 100 percent <br />Access 95 percent of terrain <br />Reduce signatures that enable adversaries to detect and engage vehicles <br />The GXV-T program provides the following four technical areas as examples where advanced technologies could be developed that would meet the program’s objectives: <br /> <br />Radically Enhanced Mobility – Ability to traverse diverse off-road terrain, including slopes and various elevations; advanced suspensions and novel track/wheel configurations; extreme speed; rapid omnidirectional movement changes in three dimensions <br />Survivability through Agility – Autonomously avoid incoming threats without harming occupants through technologies such as agile motion (dodging) and active repositioning of armor <br />Crew Augmentation – Improved physical and electronically assisted situational awareness for crew and passengers; semi-autonomous driver assistance and automation of key crew functions similar to capabilities found in modern commercial airplane cockpits <br />Signature Management – Reduction of detectable signatures, including visible, infrared (IR), acoustic and electromagnetic (EM)
