U.S. military’s crawler prototype drives on water, land and everything in between

As the nation's armed forces think tank, the Defense Advance Research Projects Agency tends to think about problems most of us didn't know needed solutions -- like how worrying about communications during a nuclear war led DARPA to create the foundations of the Internet. Among its projects are ways to haul supplies in disaster-struck areas, such as flooded cities, and this is one proposed solution: a tractor that doesn't care whether it's on land or water.
