#1 All of this is nice, and I would like to see some of the ideas implemented (espcialy that diamond seating thing--you cant see anything in the back seat of a humvee or a ASV) but it's like the "concept" cars that infest car shows. Not for production.

Remeber, the military dosen't buy the best stuff, it buys the cheapest that meets minimum standards. That means uparmored humvees. if youre lucky.

#2 Clearly this design will have no impact on current conflicts, but I think the ideas are brilliant, and relatively easy to develop.

I believe the ULTRA will make a huge diffence in the not-too-distant future.
