Key Features and Specifications:

Purpose: Researching tornadoes, designed to anchor into the ground to withstand intense winds.

Base Vehicle: 2012 Ford F-350 Super Duty with a 6.7-liter turbo diesel engine (400 horsepower).

Armor & Protection: 16-gauge steel body reinforced with Kevlar composite to deflect flying debris.

Scientific Equipment: Equipped with anemometers, barometers, thermometers, and hygrometers for gathering data, as well as launching sensors.

Specialized Systems: Hydraulic anchoring spikes, air bag suspension for lowering, and gull-wing doors.

Operational History: It is part of the SRV Dominator series, which has documented numerous, intense tornadic events (e.g., EF4 in 2013, EF3 in 2025).
