Built to conquer the bleakest continent on Earth, the bespoke $400,000–plus truck also ranks as one of the most expensive and historically significant pickups on the planet. In 2011 the tricked-out truck […]

Trotted out at the Special Operations Forces Industry Conference in Tampa, Florida, the Logos Technologies “Silent Hawk” and LSA Autonomy “Nightmare” are […]
