Jade Helm has begun. Just 2 days earlier we saw the continuation of military equipment being moved around the country – now with rather odd hardware. It is some sort of armored vehicle we hope one of our readers can identify.
This video also shows a lot of digging equipment being transported.

TARDEC is designing fuel efficient vehicles that integrate a wide variety of technologies to demonstrate the state-of-the-art in fuel efficient vehicle design.
FED Bravo on display in April 2012.
The FED’s objectives include:
Identifying and $#%&!@*essing technologies that support increasing fuel efficiency and reducing fuel consumption for light tactical vehicles.
Developing and $#%&!@*essing fuel efficient tactical vehicle concepts that compare favorably and achieve the same operational capabilities of a Humvee.
Developing, fabricating, and testing two system-level demonstrators that incorporate fuel-efficient technologies. The two demonstrator vehicles are named “Alpha” and “Bravo”.
Training the next generation of government engineers in fuel efficiency processes and tools.
FED “Alpha” completed fabrication in October 2010. FED Alpha is powered by a Super/Turbocharged 200 Hp 4.5L Inline 4-Cylinder Diesel Engine optimized for fuel efficiency. Alpha also includes other fuel saving subsystems such as an integrated starter generator, lightweight hull/frame, low rolling resistance tires, driver feedback systems, solar panels, low-drag brakes, superfinishing of driveline components, and other technologies. FED Alpha will undergo performance testing starting in early 2011.
FED “Bravo” is currently finishing its detailed design phase and will begin fabrication in early 2011. Bravo will have a road-coupled parallel hybrid powertrain. FED Bravo is scheduled to begin performance testing in late 2011.

can I trade my Taho for one of those
?
I’ve seen jeeps with turrets, weird looking round shape bomb…, humvees…tanks etc on trains in my city of Fresno, CA.
Tin Foil Hat Brigade at work here
Batman?! :/
why dont you paint it rainbow colors punk $#%&!@* $#%&!@* sucking $#%&!@*s
shut up they might just be moving equipment to bases or something
Ohhhh nooooooii
