Interestng article just released in NDIA magazaine about armored vehicles.

http://www.nationaldefensemagazine.org/archive/2012/February/Pages/Stronger-Than-SteelLightCombatTrucksStillaPipedream.aspx

...definetly not good news for bourque.

Everything they discuss in the article talks about lighter vehicles, more protection, being more mobile and cost savings in relation to what the military wants...however the article states “There isn’t a silver bullet when it comes to blast and ballistic protection for our vehicles,” he said. “It’s not a single-point solution.”

Article also advises "There is no novel lightweight armor material that has allowed us to achieve our weight savings,” Halloran said.

It seems that Bourque's prototype vehicle with STRATS would be lighter, very mobile and extremely well protected...but we don't know what the cost is as of yet which could be a problem.

OR

they are still unaware of kryron...but I find that hard to believe with all the tests that have been put on for the Army and military
