Can we all start chanting now?

RE: Crowd Sourced Light Combat Vehicle

My "insider" partner fell through.  He did 5 tours of combat (Kuwait, Iraq, and Afghanistan) as a combat scout.  I was so ready to do this.

RE: Crowd Sourced Light Combat Vehicle

I think to be successful, one needs that combat insight to know what works and what doesn't.  My friend mentioned that he hates wheel wells and covers as they block the driver's sight-line of the road when you are worried IEDs.  While the extra material could offer some added protection, he mentioned that seeing the roadside was more important to simply avoid them.  Little insights like that will yield a design that's combat worthy.

(OP)
Well yeah, but you aren't expected to have designed the whole thing by March 12th, just have a concept.

Capture the things you know about/can think of.

My guess is they wont religiously follow any one scheme, but will pick & choose ideas from various schemes.
