USSOCOM will soon start field testing its new General Dynamics Flyer 72 Advanced Light Strike Vehicle in December. The Flyer 72 will replace the SOCOM Humvee, the offroad fighting vehicle can transform into different configurations depending on the mission and is transportable by V-22 Ospreys, H-47 Chinooks and H-53 Super Stallions. General Dynamics already has base configurations for the Flyer 72 in a light strike (armored or unarmored), rescue and personnel recovery, reconnaissance, communications and C4ISR (Command, Control, Communications, Computers, Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance) that can include the mounting of a small unmanned aircraft system, weather station, and/or different optical and radar target acquisition systems. There are also sub-configurations for the Navy SEALs, AFSOC, Rangers, MARSOC and Delta Force.
