'It can climb sea walls up to 10 feet high'
Enemies: build a sea wall 11 feet high

WW1 "We didn't build a ship its a Landship"
WW2 "We didn't build a Landship its a Tank"
WW3 "We didn't build a Tank its a Landship"

we've come full circle

"Enemy UHAC overhead!!"

*Seems legit.*

[williamskidmore]

I can see this being fantastically useful in flood relief operations due to its ability to seamlessly transition from water to land, and its ability to climb over obstacles without damaging itself

Me: I wonder where my tax is going?

The navy: big float boi

Narrator: This is not a tank.
Me: IT'S A WATER TANK

[CJusticeHappen]

Dad sure could have used one of these when he was walking to and from school every day.

"this isn't a tank"
Me: *_water tank_*

[dazzlemasseur]

Future : we have hovercrafts
Present : no need for that it's too expensive.

"The project has turned dark"
So, either they're gonna come out in like 6 years with an Aircraft carrier sized version of this, or it turned out to be a disappointment and they dropped it

"This is not what you think"
Turns out it is exactly what I thought it was

[MrStreaty]

“Since then the project has gone dark” is code for “Currently in use and, as such, is a state secret”

Drives on water from land*
“That’s got to be the best pirate I’ve ever seen”…

"it can scale up to seawalls up to 10 feet high" enemy makes it 11 feet high

[JoshyHendoMan]

Video: it will cost half as much as the hover craft
The Pentagon:

[chrisdooley]

I worked with a guy who retired from DARPA. He always said that I wouldn’t believe the stuff they create and that just their electronics projects are on average 20 years ahead of the current public market. Seeing this thing I have no doubt it can do everything and more they say it can do. Very cool

[coderblakeFTW]

"It can go up seawalls to 10ft high"

OK, let's make it 11 feet high

[SC-RGX]

The project hasn't gone dark, it's been improving in secrecy

[gyrrakavian]

Wow, a project that's actually cheaper than what it's meant to replace.

[freeze]

Wait, this is just a half scale demonstrator?
