DARPA’s Captive Air Amphibious Transporter can drive on water, help during disaster relief (video)
A couple of months back, DARPA announced it’d been working on developing technologies to help during natural or “man-made” disasters, and this TEMP plan (Tactically Expandable Maritime Platform) included the addition of four key modular systems — one of which was sea-delivery vehicles such as that monstrous one pictured above. Dubbed Captive Air Amphibious Transporters, or CAAT for short, the rugged wheeler gets its drive-on-agua powers from air-filled pontoons, with its main purpose being to carry “containers over water and directly onto shore.” However, according to DARPA’s program manager, Scott Littlefield, it is more about the big picture, saying, “To allow military ships and aircraft to focus on unique military missions they alone can fulfill, it makes sense to develop technologies to leverage standard commercial container ships.” Thanks to a vid uploaded by DARPA itself, you can now get a feel for what CAAT’s all about, so head over past the break — where you’ll find a quick preview of the ATV carrier in action.

Leave a commentAustralian High Court just says no to Apple appeal, Samsung breathes a sigh of relief
First, Apple got Samsung’s Galaxy Tab 10.1 banned from Oz, then Sammy got the temporary injunction lifted. Undaunted, Apple vowed to appeal the Korean company’s victory to the High Court of Australia, and today, The Register reports that the court has denied Apple’s appeal. Details are sparse as to why Cupertino’s arguments were unpersuasive, but one thing’s for sure: Samsung’s going to have a much more merry Christmas as a result of its latest legal victory.
[Thanks, Jeremy]
