Research abstract
iRobot proposes to design a XTV (eXtreme Terrain Vehicle) to carry significant combat loads for SOF foot patrols to objective areas. The XTV is fully amphibious and has a novel 6WDrive, 6WSteer active suspension/adaptive traction system powered by a runsilent hybrid diesel/electric drive. It can transit mountain paths, fast flowing rivers and cluttered urban alleys, either autonomously or by remote telop via PackBot OCU. The XTV could significantly enhance the SOF warfighting capabilites by gettingheavier combat loads further into the objective area faster. The XTV also has large dual use potential in the agricultural, construction and security markets
