DARPA Captive Air Amphibious Transport (CAAT)

Meet the 1/5 scale tester of the DARPA Captive Air Amphibious Transport (CAAT). It’s designed to be a literally go anywhere vehicle that can provide relief supplies to disaster areas, kind of like the Gama Goat was intended to be. The difference here is that the CAAT seems to work way better being fast and unstoppable on land, water and everything in between. The BANGshift editor who posted this video thinks that “Captive Air” refers to the air trapped in the paddles of the treads. Seems to make sense to me. It’s one of those straight forward designs that makes you wonder why nobody thought of it before. It definitely adds another dimension to the Monster Tank story.
