Crusher – Unmanned, Nigh Unstoppable Vehicle from Pentagon
February 29th, 2008Crusher is a six wheeled unmanned, nigh unstoppable ground combat vehicle developed by Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) of Pentagon. Crusher is capable of climbing 4 foot walls, it rolls through ditches, goes right through streams of water and pretty much anything that gets in its path.
Most armored vehicles are designed to protect humans inside, in case of Pentagon’s Crusher, there was no such need. That allowed the engineers to develop a vehicle that knows no obstacles.
Crusher has its own computer with navigation system and all it needs is start and end points and it’s gonna get there. Crusher always chooses straight line and only gets off it if the obstacle is more than 6 feet tall or deep. It does have a remote control though so you can operate it from remote location. Several video cameras provide visuals that are so detailed and precise; you can see rabbits that are 2.5 miles away from the vehicle.
Crusher video presentation above demonstrates badass unstoppable abilities of this unmanned vehicle.
