摘要: An overridable failsafe brake apparatus for a vehicle is provided. The overridable failsafe brake apparatus includes (a) a lever accessible from outside the vehicle, the lever being operable at a first position and a second position; (b) a brake; and (c) a spring having a first end coupled to the lever and a second end coupled to the brake. (d) The lever disposed in the first position is configured to induce tension in the spring that enables the brake to be activated, and the lever disposed in the second position is configured to reduce tension in the spring to disable the brake from being engaged. A method of operating an overridable failsafe brake apparatus for a vehicle and a vehicle including an overridable failsafe brake apparatus are also provided.

摘要: Example techniques have been presented for providing tracked vehicles with deployable towing wheels. Such techniques involve a track vehicle having a vehicle body, a track coupled to the vehicle body, and a wheel assembly coupled to the vehicle body. The wheel assembly includes a wheel and is operable to assume a towing position in which at least a portion of the wheel extends below the track and enables the tracked vehicle to be towed on the wheel without the track making ground contact.

摘要: A vehicle includes a floor plate defining a front and a back of the vehicle, wall sections to receive vehicle loading and transfer the vehicle loading to the floor plate, and a fluid delivery assembly supported by the floor plate. The fluid delivery assembly includes an intake manifold that resides at the back, an outlet that resides at the front, and a set of lateral conduits extending between the intake manifold and the outlet to laterally convey fluid entering the intake manifold from a fluid source to the outlet for delivery to a fluid target. Accordingly, the back may connect to the fluid source and the front may deliver the fluid thus keeping the vehicle sides and top available for other uses. Moreover, the low isolated placement of the fluid delivery assembly safeguards the fluid delivery assembly and provides a low center of gravity for vehicle stability.

摘要: A technique for facilitating deployment and stowing of a ballistic shield on a vehicle includes providing a central armored panel having a hinged connection to a base, which may be coupled to or integral with the vehicle. The hinged connection includes an axle and a set of torsion springs configured to exert a lifting torque on the central armored panel relative to the base, such that the central armored panel is movable about the hinged connection for assuming both an upright, deployed position and a laid-down, stowed position.

摘要: A technique provides an amphibious, submersible vehicle, which includes an electric drive and is capable of operating both on land and in water. The vehicle includes a water-tight compartment that houses batteries and a set of electric motors for propelling the vehicle using tracks on land and on a subsea floor. The vehicle is further capable of propelling itself through water, using the tracks and/or a set of thrusters powered by the batteries.

摘要: A vehicle includes a body defining a front, a rear, lateral sides extending between the front and the rear. The vehicle further includes a fluid delivery system supported by the body. The fluid delivery system includes an intake manifold disposed at the rear, the intake manifold being constructed and arranged to receive fluid from at least one external fluid source, an outlet disposed at the front, the outlet being constructed and arranged to distribute fluid from the at least one fluid source to an external target, and a fluid conduit coupled with the intake manifold and the outlet to convey the fluid from the intake manifold to the outlet through the body. The vehicle further includes track assemblies coupled with the body, the body being disposed between the track assemblies to enable the track assemblies to provide stability to the vehicle during high speed fluid discharge from the outlet.
