Just over 3 months ago a team at Arizona-based Local Motors won the XC2V crowd sourced competition to develop a next-generation military vehicle. And already, the team has delivered the first working prototype of its FLYPMode concept.
The FLYPMode was designed with 360 degree visibility and protection being top priority. The vehicle uses a common chassis capable of performing both combat resupply and medical evacuation missions, and has room enough for six passengers.
A modular interior allows for many parts be to either be quickly removed for increased speed, or added to provide a wide range of additional technologies. This ability to be configured on the spot allows the vehicle to perform in both combat and search and rescue situations.
