Multifunctional Utility/Logistics and Equipment
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Multifunction Utility/Logistics and Equipment (MULE) vehicle is an autonomous ground vehicle developed by Lockheed Martin Missiles and Fire Control for the United States Army's Future Combat Systems program.
The proposed MULE design will support three variants:
- Attack and Reconnaissance
- Counter-Mine
- Transport
The most notable feature is the 6 articulating legs that will give the MULE the ability to change it's profile and negotiate large obstacles.
The Head Engineer of the Attack mule is David Dubois. The project manager of this project is Joe Zinicker.
Lockheed hopes to have the MULE on the field around 2010-2011.
