Today the US Department of Defense announced that they would be collaborating with Carnegie Mellon University to develop an self-reliant copilot for DARPA ’s upcoming “ helicopter jeep ” projection . Yes , the military machine is developing a helicopter jeep .
Here ’s the Georgia home boy onDARPA ’s flying carfromCMU :

The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency ( DARPA ) has awarded a 17 - month , $ 988,000 contract to Carnegie Mellon ’s Robotics Institute to uprise an self-reliant flight system for the Transformer ( TX ) Program , which is exploring the feasibleness of a military flat coat fomite that could transmute into a vertical - take - off - and - landing ( VTOL ) air travel fomite .
The TX vehicle project by DARPA would be up to of enthrall four people and 1,000 pounds of load up to 250 nautical mile , either by land or by air . Its enhanced mobility would increase survivability by making movements less predictable and would make the vehicle desirable for a encompassing variety of missions , such as reconnoitring , resupply and aesculapian voidance .
“ The TX is all about flexibleness of motion and key to that concept is the idea that the vehicle could be operated by a soldier without original training , ” read Sanjiv Singh , CMU inquiry prof of robotics . “ In practical terms , that means the vehicle will need to be able to fly itself , or to fly with only minimal input from the operator . And this think of that the fomite has to be continuously aware of its surroundings and be able to automatically react in response to what it perceives . ”
It ’s official , folks . Between allthe undercover warsandreptilian invader , we are now living in a Nick Fury comic . The flying robot car is just the nail in the coffin .
