TactiSMART 085: AeroQuads & AmphiQuads: An Air/Ground Vehicles Start for the Dullard USMIL/Spy Worlds


To avoid Zero Six Bravo type-disasters; 


...a militarized SKYRUNNER with JP8/diesel motor, TWEELS, see-thru ram-air paraglider canopy, armed like the 007 Russian ParaHawks in "The World is Not Enough" would be an interesting air/ground vehicle start for the USMIL/spy world--albeit needing calm windy weather.

Tucker Gott reports the big ECO2 PPG trike has a self-wing inflation capability to help these systems along.



The Tinger or Polaris Sportsman with TRACKS would be a better ground vehicle cross-country mobility-wise:



Polaris already makes JP8/diesel-powered ATVs for the USMIL. Operate from a trailer towed by a MUDamphiarmortrack: M113A4 "Super Gavin". 


Polaris also makes a fully-tracked AMPHIBIOUS ATV, the Rampage which could be easily armor-protected since its fully enclosed against TBATE conditions.



The fully-tracked ATVs described here are a functional replacement for the capabilities we lost when the M29 Weasel was retired. Obviously they can be UGVs, too. 


The inflatoplane stiff wings would get better TBATE windy flight opportunities as would an AUTOGYRO mast at the top of the SKYRUNNER roll cage using folding wings.


Also needs to be a 2-seater because 1x is NONE, but 2x are ONE.
