    Source from General Dynamics who worked on this says it performed well in preliminary testing and trials as a shell but performance expectations once loaded and armored up were unrealistic.

    The site said they were going to use it in a movie. This might be en route to the set.

    $500,000? If they just want an unmanned vehicle to drive up front and soak up pressure plate IEDs a Hilux would be a lot cheaper. Looks like it could hold more too.

    I'm waiting on them to put a main gun and coax MG on it and we'll have a unmanned MBT..... Because then, at lets say even 750K that's still WAY cheaper than an Abrams and we could go all Soviet and have more tanks than troops.....

    Have to have some kinda auto loader for the main gun, and maybe just a M134 for 3 or 4k rounds linked.
