#U s army Wants A Parachuting Tank After years of service in wars--from Iraq to Afghanistan to Iraq again--the Humvee is on its way out.
Creatively titled Mobile Protected Firepower (MPF) it s an armored vehicle that can be dropped from cargo planes.
It has to fit inside a CH-47 Chinook cargo helicopter so that the crew can drive right in

The Army also wants it to drive cross-country primary road secondary road and urban rubble during both day and night missions.
In essence the ULCV should get a squad into the fight right off the helicopter over unpaved ground
Lastly the Army is also looking at a light reconnaissance vehicle (LRV) also carried by Chinook helicopters both inside and underneath.

The Antares rocket that was about to send the Cygnus spacecraft on the ISS exploded a few seconds after its launch from NASA's Wallops flight facilities.
