Reply to comment by amatulic in TIL That the TOR Network was created by the United States Naval Research Laboratory to protect American Intelligence communications. by ZER0SE7ENONETH
Years ago I ran into the little brother of a friend of mine. He was wrenching for GDLS. When the LAVs came back off lease they got to build concept vehicles with them. Like tinker toy tanks.
One had a HIAB on the side that loaded pre stocked "modules " into the hollowed out rear section. The idea was you could load a machine shop, or a medical bay, etc. Not nearly functional, but concept mind you.
That was easily 20 years ago, and just the other day my wife sent me a picture out her office window of an LAV swim testing in the harbour with a HIAB arm.
