Finally! This is finally something the Army can use! It took Howe&Howe over a decade but they've learned their lessons, took in suggestions, refined their product's strengths and have delivered a product that looks like it'll fit perfectly into the US Army's future. The only gripe I have is the lack of descriptive words used in the sales pitch. They repeat themselves a few times but it's alright because these guys are engineers, not politicians.

We have no idea what we are doing or how much money we can get out of you yet, that's called modular? Palm face. Been working on that for years you say? Any contractors that know what they can do for how much? A 13 year old could disable that thing with stuff probably in the closet. Assuming it doesn't get the first shot. Might be good for stationary guard duty or to hold the line during a retreat. Dependable? Hardly. They will get disabled, captured, reverse engineered etc. Sales people that leave details out like that are annoying. Takes money from real soldiers.

@@stevendx6601 to give an example of modular system, imagine a tactical vest that have molle webbing, you can attach different kind of Equipment or pouch that suit your needs, like a shotgun loadout, scout, sniper, rifleman, medic, to maximize efficiency by giving individual a system they most comfortable, in vehicle you can have the same base vehicle with different system without major retrofit, simplify logistic and maintance. you need ATGM ? Or 30mm chain gun ? Just pop one in. A good example is boxer APC, you can just pop different module for infantry setup or ifv setup without major retrofits or redesign. And about the need of expensive vehicle. yes, alone they are worthless because a gallon of gasoline will destroy them, but you put it alongside an infantry and other system, you have a major force multiplier, you could have a firepower of an IFV in a package as small as a city car.

@@Kevin-fj5oe “modular system” means this product is not multiple roles. You have to change the module to do other jobs. For example, an IFV can provide support fire, armor protection, reconnaissance and ammo/equipment carrying functions for the troops. But how many UGVs and different modules are needed to take over the jobs of a single IFV? Are they really cheaper?

Hey, it even has a little terminator skull painted on the side. Very forward thinking.
This truly is the future of armor
I remember watching the show where these were originally built!
The cost of one of these versus an Abrams, along with modern sensors, AI and drone swarm capabilities, large scale deployment of armed Ripsaw M5's could quickly overrun many defensive positions even while absorbing cost effective loses. "Disruptor" is right. Although not MBT's, squadrons of these things would be "Dominator" game changers.
I really miss their TV show
I've been following these guys for a long time and yes they are very capable. Looks like in the comments nobody knows about Howe and Howe tech. These guys are not playing around. They also built a one man personal tank that can fit through door ways. Swat teams love it.
Howe & Howe Tech from humble chop shop featured in Discovery Channel now becoming a military hardware contractor. Woot woot.
if they made this "man sized" or as big as an ATV with that silent 40mph cross country performance and an RWS with a 50BMG-40mm AGL combo.. that would be a real asset for a squad assaulting an urban battlefield
Nice job guys Glad to see people pushing the boundaries. Excellent mobility and range as well as lethality. I'm impessed which is hard to do. I hope it's resistant to jamming. 😈😈😈😈😈
This is a cool vehicle. I would like one of these.
I am salivating!
An Amphibious version would be badass and air dropped into the battlefield since its essentially a drone.
its chassis is similar to M3/M5 Stuart Light Tank with few modifications
Next we'll see the hunter-killer drones.

bro, good luck hitting any part of it, have you seen how fast they are? maybe 40 in the woods or dense forest, but out in the open... 70-80 easily, while taking hairpin corners like nothing...triangulating the one shot you did manage to get off, but missed, and returning fire, with multiple different weapon platforms, all the while ripping through what ever comes at it...
Nice tank
It has a winch on the rear. Does it come with robot to hook it up or is that optional.
Production ALL APPROVED; make it fast and durable as STRONG, STREGNTH and HONOR of our UNIVERSAL SOLDIERS; 🦊
It's got that WWII, Greatest Generation vibe. Check out the running gear. And the name "M5", like M5 Stuart.
Robotic tank- heck yes.
Interesting. The vehicle shown in the video is roughly the same size as the M5 light tank that was used in the Second World War, has a main gun that fires a round that is just 7mm smaller in diameter but is much more powerful, has a bogie and suspension system that looks very similar, and it's called... wait for it... the M5. The M5 Ripsaw also looks like it's optimized for carrying out reconnaissance missions, and that's what the original M5 light tank was designed to do. Everything old is new again, with the exception of the robotic, semi-autonomous capabilities.
A fire fighting model would be useful, you could gain massive data and get paid by ppg mebbe. Showing an assortment of modules is vastly more effective than repeating talking points.
The return of the Ripsaw
Forward field modularity might not be officially useful since the spares are likely in the depots anyways... but if you have one that got a blown turret and a different one that’s got a blown body then you can combine th to a solid whole ina few hours
You could get a army out of these little tanks for one there fast and tough enough to rip through anything on any type of ground snow mud ice wooden grounds I feel like it would make a dam big difference in the battle field because of its abilitys . It has action to make it happen maybe even more if it was built to drive and have a spot for a gunner
So this thing drives alongside Abrams tanks to provide flanking cover?

US weapons has long gone the WW2 German route: high tech, high maintenance, very expensive and few of them can be deployed at once. perhaps this time doing the same thing again will have different results? it is easy for weapons makers go the expensive high tech high maintenance route, cause it racks them a lot more $$$$$ and long term support $$$.
