| rdfs:comment | - The SmarTruck II was designed and engineered by Bran Ferren of Applied Minds for the U.S. Army Tank-automotive and Armaments Command’s National Automotive Center (NAC) from a modified Chevrolet Silverado. The 6-wheeled (3-axle) truck was designed to use a quick change modular system to utilize many types of equipment on the same base vehicle such as a guided missile launcher with a range, a launcher for a remote-controlled unmanned aerial vehicle, power distribution, lighting, etc. The stated mission of the vehicle is counter-terrorism for the United States Department of Homeland Security, but could be easily adapted for other uses; medical response, emergency power and lighting, unlimited modularity.
