Several ground vehicles made it into the top 10 list, in one fashion or another. Shown here is the RECCE vehicle system, an adaptation of the Cougar 6x6 MRAP (mine-resistant ambush-protected) vehicle, used by combat engineers for route clearance. The RECCE differs from the Cougar's base configuration because of the addition of several subsystems: the Protector remote-weapon assembly; Gyrocam image sensors; aviation Blue Force Tracker technology for identifying friendly forces; and a Robot Deployment System that lets the crew deploy and retrieve a Talon robot without opening the vehicle.
