This transport right here is BAE Systems ’ Raider , an observational tank inspired by the Tumbler in The Dark Knight . Its architect based its wheel configuration on Wayne Industries ’ cushiest ride .
In a discussion with The Engineer BAE Systems Future Protected Vehicles project leader Hisham Awad openly admitted that the Raider ’s pattern take cue from the Chris Nolan smash hit :
You see , it turns like a minibike and it has the same wheel configuration [ … ] In all serious-mindedness , we decided that we did n’t have a monopoly on breathing in , and if we check something in a film that we think might be a good idea , why not take a look at it and see if there ’s something pragmatic we can educate ?
moreover , the Raider is a robotic tank . Wait a gosh - darn instant , that ’s not the Batmobile . That ’s obviouslythe Hunter Killer from The Terminator . Thanks for nothing , futurity .
