I just thought this was cool; our Navy’s latest Amphibious Craft. This prototype is only half the size of what the finished product will be. What you’ll see in the video below is roughly a decade’s worth of hard work, planning, and innovation. The machine’s name is the Ultra Heavy-lift Amphibious Connector (UHAC), and this UHAC prototype–which, at 38 tons, is half the size of what the final version will be, and moves at less than half the speed–is expected to replace the U.S. Navy’s current hovercraft. Because its track can grinds over rugged terrain AND paddle across the sea, the UHAC has the potential to be an ideal transport vehicle for our troops and their gear.
