Smartruck Ii

The SmarTruck II was engineered by the US Army's Tank, Automotive, and Armaments Commands National Automotive Center (NAC) from a modified Chevrolet Silverado. The 6-wheeled (3-axle) truck can be fitted with a guided missile launcher, (3 km range), and a launcher for a remote-controlled Unmanned Air Vehicle. The stated mission of the vehicle is anti-terrorism and it will probably be used by the United States Department of Homeland Security. NAC executive director Dennis Wend says that he was inspired by a James Bond film in producing the SmarTrucks.

Additional Features

The SmarTruck II has a night vision system, a (50x zoom) video system with thermal imaging and surveillance radar, cameras covering 360° (including one under the vehicle), and a 12,000-pound, straight-line hydraulic towing winch. The grille is covered by a metal bullet-resistant brushguard.

Variants

Variants of the SmarTruck II are designed to carry water or additional communications equipment. See also: SmarTruck I
