New Awesome Truck

'For a war zone, it brings state-of-the-art communications and detection systems while offering up-armored protection to withstand terrorist and insurgent roadside attacks.'And there are unlimited applications for commercial uses working with our International Truck and Engine partners for business and industry. This platform does it all!' The SmarTruck III was built for the NAC, the Army's official link to developing collaborative technologies with commercial and academic partners, by Integrated Concepts & Research Corporation (ICRC) of Madison Heights, MI, and Heart International of Grand Blanc, MI. The SMARTRUCK III owes its wide-appeal to its adaptable modular design and innovations in defence and occupant protection, field intelligence, communications and vehicle performance.

Defense and Occupant Protection

In military operations, SMARTRUCK III's vehicle systems are capable of detecting and responding to personnel movement, a bio-threat in the air or an incoming missile.
