PROJECT TOPICSecurity, Defense & Emergency Response
All-Terrain Amphibious Rescue Vehicle
A multi-domain mobility concept exploring buoyant sealed chassis tubs, ultra-low-pressure chevron balloon tires, and auxiliary waterjets to transition seamlessly between muddy shores and deep floodwaters.
Seamless Land-Water Transition in Disaster Zones
- ✓Floats naturally on water using buoyant chassis displacement and high-volume balloon tires.
- ✓Paddles through water using tire tread rotation augmented by a rear electric waterjet.
- ✓Transports medical kits and life vests into flood zones inaccessible by standard boats or trucks.
The Engineering Challenge
Problem / Objective
Flood rescue operations are hindered when boats get stranded in shallow mud and wheeled trucks get submerged in deep floodwaters.
