It’s loaded with good stuff that the Israelis will not say anything about, before the official unveiling this coming Tuesday, so stay tuned to see it here on defense-Update as it happens…An example of how the ST Kinetics connected combat team could work, is the integration of the Blade IV UAS and ‘Terex Mothership’ armored vehicle, supporting a squad with firepower, protection, mobility, communications, computing and energy storage.

Humdinga is a full-time 4WD Amphitruck powered by a 300BHP turbo diesel engine. It is capable of highway speeds on land and over 30mph on water. With the touch of a button Humdinga transitions between land and water in seconds. On water Humdinga utillizes GIBBS Amphibians proprietary HSA twin water jet propulsion technology. Humdinga was developed to access remote destinations and has robust marine, highway and off-road performance. Photo: Noam Eshel
