This probably doesn't fit here but I couldn't find any other suitable thread in the army projects forum, please remove if its too out of topic. Four months ago on Reddit I posted some FMC block 3 Bradley concept art and couldn't find a source. Lo and Behold I found it again alongside other...

Good day everyone. I have a question, is there any unbuilt or other MLRS projects of the US Military beside M270 and HIMARS?

The major disadvantage of the MIM-72 Chaparral (initially) was its inability to engage jet aircraft head-on. The AIM-9D "Sidewinder", on which its missiles were based, could not lock on target from this aspect. While it wasn't a major disadvantage for a AAM, it was a big hindrance for SAM, since...

After WWII the US military developed a large scale exercise using a fake country called Aggressor. They were known as the Trigonist (see Circle Trigonist link, their flag, manuals, etc.) and the military developed a plethora of information and documentation to support these operations. I thought...

In scrolling through the list of U.S. military M-number vehicles, it looks like the Army trialed a large number of 8x8 cargo trucks in the 1950s until the Vietnam War or so. They vary in cargo rating, from 2 1/2 to 10 or so tons, not including oddities like heavy tractors, and some appear to...

Interesting development/proposal I just came across:

I just found this picture in an old Italian magazine: The caption says it is a special amphibian veichle to recover the Mercury capsule. The picture was taken during an exercise, using a mockup of the Mercury, with the same dimensions and mass.

I was looking for the history of the anti-aircraft guns of the US Army since 1918 but then stumbled upon an AA gun that I never heard of before. A little effort to find some information was done, but it's surprisingly quite scarce. 4.7-inch Mobile Gun, M1920E The gun was supposed to be the...

Once again, I've come across this 'official' Grumman 'Ranger' missile cutaway desktop model, which I've never seen or heard of before. On the page it's from, it states Grumman 'Ranger' Infantry Heavy Assault Missile (https://www.bonhams.com/auctions/25262/lot/19/?category=list) Anyone know...

“highly classified” Long Range Effect (LRE) ? US Army has taken a few - but not all - of the wraps off a “highly classified” Long Range Effect (LRE) during #Edge21 demo at Dugway Proving Ground, which I’m attending. No pictures released sadly, but a video showed to me here shows a large, winged...

Placed here rather than the bar, since it seems that the US Military will be now buying a fair few examples (hopefully at least some bit properly militarised) as part of the Biden administration's government vehicle fleet EV initiative (though I'm a fair bit sceptical myself on how well it will...
