FOX News: Top military innovations of 2015

It was a good year for innovations within the military, including the introduction of a gladiator vehicle a drone-slaying canon. Here are a few of the good ones:

Special Operations ATV

Who doesn’t love an all-terrain vehicle? U.S. Special Operations Command (SOCOM) is no exception.

Polaris Defense announced that it is supplying the U.S. military with more all-terrain vehicles (ATVs) in 2015.

The company has been supplying its MRZR ATVs to SOCOM for three years – and now special operations are getting their hands on even more.

The new order is for MRZR2 and MRZR4s. The MRZR2 is an ideal variant to carry two operators and the MRZR 4 can carry four, or even six, depending on the configuration.
