SAN JOSE, CA (KGO) -- The research and development people at BAE Systems are looking at the possibility of a big defense contract, and plenty of bay area jobs that would come with it. They've been working on a replacement for the Humvee.
It's one of the more unusual automotive showrooms, and less than a mile from San Jose-Mineta airport. On Thursday, they showed off something new. "This is one, tough, mean machine," said Nick Lopez. Lopez is quite proud of his work on what may replace the army's Humvee -- that now iconic troop carrier that has proven so vulnerable to roadside bombs in Iraq. Enough soldiers have died in them that the U.S. government went looking for prototypes. A vehicle developed by BAE Systems of San Jose, is one of three finalists. "Things that would cause people to die in a Humvee will allow people to walk away in this vehicle," said BAE Systems Vice President Matt Riddle. THE valanx, as they call it, has an armored floor and is an independent four-wheel drive among other features.
