S.M.A.R.T. Truck III
"Built in partnership with International Truck and Engine Corporation, the machine showcases the latest in armour protection, highly-advanced communications and detection and deterrent capabilities, making the SMARTRUCK III a true mobile command-and-control center. “It’s the right truck for right now,” Dennis J. Wend, Director of the National Automotive Center told editors at the Society of Automotive Engineers’ (SAE) 2004 World Congress. “Our first focus is to bring forward this mobile unit for our soldiers here and abroad, but at the same time we’ve designed a number of commercial versions which can be easily modified to address homeland security or other priorities.” Specifically, Wend said some of the multiple applications would include: “For the Air Force, it can be a command-and-control center designed to monitor airfields and their vast surrounding areas. “For the Border Patrol and U.S. Marshals, SMARTRUCK III will detect the movement of personnel or vehicles in remote areas. “For Homeland Security, it is configured to monitor both bio threats and personnel movements. “For a war zone, it brings state-of-the-art communications and detection systems while offering up-armored protection to withstand terrorist and insurgent roadside attacks. “And there are unlimited applications for commercial uses working with our International Truck and Engine partners for business and industry. This platform does it all!” The SmarTruck III was built for the NAC, the Army’s official link to developing collaborative technologies with commercial and academic partners, by Integrated Concepts & Research Corporation (ICRC) of Madison Heights, MI, and Heart International of Grand Blanc, MI. The SMARTRUCK III owes its wide-appeal to its adaptable modular design and innovations in defence and occupant protection, field intelligence, communications and vehicle performance."
