Want to design the next Ground Combat Vehicle?

There's a good post on Danger Room about the ongoing, highly open-ended solicitation for the next Ground Combat Vehicle. The Army wants 1,800 of them in 7 years, for less than $450M and $10M per vehicle. Beyond that, and some rough acquisition priorities, they are open to ideas.

"The Ground Combat Vehicle is a relatively blank canvas. Does it have to have treads or wheels? What kind of gun should it have, if any at all? How fast should it go? What kind of communications capabilities? The answer: Shrug. Up to you, buddy."

So if this is the kind of thing you do on the side, you can download the RFP here and get to work. First round proposals are due 21 Jan.
