The Lumpy Lobster
XM6 'Badger' IFV Rear
The XM6 Badger IFV sports a dual climate control system that integrates NBC protection for the crew and passengers. The system is capable of heating or cooling the engine as well as the crew compartment.
The system is able to direct cool air to the engine exhaust port to cool the hot gases, effectively masking the vehicle on infrared imaging systems. ADF testing teams reported a 83% increased camouflage rating over similarly configured IFVs being considered in the XM6 competition.
In the event of a failure in one of the units, the climate control computer can redirect the air flow to either engine or fighting compartments using either air intake system.
