Saw this on ABC World news last night, pretty cool. It's a newly designed armored vehicle built to withstand an IED.
They cost $500,000 each, they kind of remind me of the big construction vehicles (tractors, dump trucks, forklifts. etc).
Check out the video section, pretty damned impressive.

reminds of WWII halftrack vehicles in that it appears that you can adapt them to suit specific jobs like troop transport, mobile AAA, etc.
