Saw something at Sandia labs once that was basicly a ATV w/ a just a deck style roof rack and no seat or handlebars and had a little pager sized box that a troop wore and the ATV would follow his/her exact route behind em. The distance was variable and a bawana button was on it for more ammo ect ect needs to make it catch up on command.

A ATV beast of burden that followed the troops per se....packing a existance load while the troop packed just a fighting load........Not sure how the device ever faired at the Robotics Lab there......seemed cool but the potential of all my gear being diverted with a garage opener was a bit of a concern ;o)

Stay Safe !

The Army's been looking at that idea since about 1990 or so. Not a bad one at that, until we can develop Starship Troopers powered armor...
