Hello fellow Americans. Since I have not yet had time to be briefed on the presidential limousine, please enlighten me on the details of this vehicle. Thank you very much.

Fuck off back to working on your suntan.

How did the American gearheads vote?

In my house we stayed up all night playing the election drinking game.

Cant/didnt vote. I'll guess AP2k went for Obama, and Rlp and DTP filled in Cheney as a write-in.

hmm.
this guy sounds like one of those two guys that got caught for trying to assasinate obama.

anyway,

its a motorcade of 30 or so vehicles,

there are 3 identical limousines, to which one the president rides in.

they are bulletproof, fireproof, pretty much everything proof.

btw, the president could be riding in any of the cars in the motorcade.

when bush came to australia, our limousines which i believe where rated to protect up to heavy calibre rifle rounds were deemed unsafe for him.

One of the first and last vehicles contained in most motorcade packages is an electronic warfare Suburban. This vehicle contains barrage jammers to counter electronic guided attacks along the convoy route from IR missiles to IEDs. Barrage jamming works by transmitting a large band of frequencies over a wide spectrum, which is large enough to defeat different emitters on different frequencies. The vehicles can be configured with multiple antennae configurations according to the RF mission jamming requirements. For example, such jammers attack radio receivers used to detonate remote controlled improvised explosive devices, such as cellular and satellite phones, garage door openers, car alarm receivers, and cordless cell phone receivers.

The vehicles are part of the Tigerwall system. It was designed by SPAWAR, the space warfare division of the Navy. SPAWAR was contracted by the Secret Service to deploy the system. It uses long range cameras and on-board RF equipment to identify objects in the sky and provide real-time tracking of their locations and trajectories. The system integrates the data from several sources to provide a graphical view of airborne threats in the immediate area of the traveling motorcade.

Another element of the motorcade package is the follow-up car. It is typically a Chevrolet Suburban that tails immediately behind the presidential limo and contains the Secret Service Counter-Assault Team, the squad that provides close protection to the president. The vehicle is equipped with retractable running boards and hand holds to allow for quick escape of agents in the event an attack, or an event in which agents are outside the vehicle and need to escape. Each vehicle typically carries five to six agents: a driver, a passenger, two to three agents in the back seat and a tail gunner. The tail gunner sits in the cargo area of the vehicle and guards the rear flank of the motorcade. Depending on the motorcade formation and threat environment, the rear window may be closed or swung open. The tail gunner typically carries an MP5A3 sub machine gun. The number of follow-up vehicles varies according to mission requirements.

Since 2001, when the president travels out of town, his motorcade has consisted of about 35 vehicles. Approximately the first half of the motorcade is called the secure package, which would break off from the rest of the group in an attack. The remainder of the motorcade is staff and reporters, an ambulance, and more police cars at the end.[10] While the limousine itself is maintained by the Secret Service, motorcade support vehicles are maintained by the White House Military Office.[5]

The presidential limousine is sometimes taken to overseas stops where secure transportation is needed. Sometimes, the president uses transportation that is already in the country, either military or in the U.S. embassy motor pool. At times, the president travels in the Presidential Suburban, one of two Chevrolet Suburbans with the presidential seal on the sides.[4]


wikipedia,
not sure how accurate it is.

when bush came to australia, our limousines which i believe where rated to protect up to heavy calibre rifle rounds were deemed unsafe for him.

i've seen kevin rudds car.

it's a white armored holden statesmen,
with two SUV's, ford territories i think that stay in front and behind the sedan.
with the 'special protections unit' of the NSW police force as the 'sercret service'
didn't see kevin rudd.

it was when he was in china, and julia gillard was prime minister for the day.


US president has his own entourage, and his car, is carried by air force 1 wherever he goes.


The vehicle was custom built by O'Gara, Hess, and Eisenhart, armored vehicle builders who have been building armored presidential limousines since the 1960s. The base platform is a Cadillac DTS, but little of the original vehicle remains. For example, DeVille's flush-style door handles have been replaced by a loop-type design apparently borrowed from the 1992-99 generation Buick LeSabre, doubling as grab-handles for the United States Secret Service agents running alongside the car. Exterior examination suggests that the head/tail lights, and the wreath-and-crest emblem atop the grille are some of the few stock components.

Similar to its predecessor, the 2001 Presidential Limousine, the stretch Cadillac features an executive leather interior with a rear foldaway desktop, an extensive entertainment system featuring a 10-disc CD changer, and adaptive, massaging cushions. The president sits in the rear, facing a console-mounted secure communications panel connected to five antennas mounted on the trunk lid. The vehicle has a flag of the United States mounted on the right front fender, and a Presidential flag on the left front fender. Flush-mounted high intensity discharge (HID) spotlights illuminate the flags at night. Like a standard Cadillac DTS, the presidential limo is said to have a night vision system, but the camera moved to an undisclosed location.

The exterior is paneled with five inches of ballistic armor, and is said to be able to withstand anti-tank grenade launchers. The underside of the car is also armored. The windows, which do not open, are transparent armor thick enough to block sunlight, which is the reason the interior is illuminated with naturalistic artificial lighting. The doors require automatic systems to open and the car has a run-flat tire system. The limousine is also environmentally sealed against chemical and biological attacks. A four wheel drive system to improve traction might also be fitted.

A secret service communications vehicle (toting most of the communications equipment) and a paramedic-equipped ambulance aides the limousine as a part of any presidential motorcade. The Presidential Limousine uses the call sign "Cadillac One. "Cadillac One is transported everywhere the President goes, and is airlifted on domestic and international trips by Air Force transport planes. Cadillac One remains amoungst one of the most distinct automobiles in the world with its imposing frame and the Presidential Seal clearly affixed to the rear doors. When the President travels on domestic trips and working international trips, Cadillac One flys the American Flag and the Presidential Flag. When the President however performs a State Visit to a foreign country, the Presidential Flag is replaced by the flag of that country.

The Vice President of the United States also has his own distinct limousine which is manufactured by Cadallic and it is currently a 2001 DeVille model. It is similar to Cadallic One but instead flys the Vice Presidential Flag and bears the Vice Presidential Seal on the rear doors. It is not known if it too is transported wherever the Vice President goes or only operates in the Washington DC area.

Nah, airforce 1 doesn't carry cars, it's a 747 passenger jet. I actually got to go out on the tarmac to see it when he was here.

The cars are brought out in C5A Galaxies which are these bad boys http://aboutfacts.net/Else/Else36/C5Galaxy.jpg

Like has probably been previously demonstrated.

You'll have better luck with a rifle.

Or a fake Canadian motorcade. All that besides, .308 rounds are hard as fuck to find in the wastelands.

Believe it or not I ran out of hunting rifle ammo before I ran out of sniper ammo.

I made the switch to laser rifles though.

6 shots in VATS + Grim Reapers sprint + Sniper + Commando + Wired Reflexes + Whatever else boosts VATS accuracy = I will mow you all the fuck down.

Unless you're a robot. Those things must be loctited or something.

.44 magnum is where its at. Especially when it blows heads clean off.

Sounds like a game of shells.

Fallout, I think.

This clip gives an idea of the sheer size of a fleet of 25+ vehicles in the typical presidential motorcade:

Were you ever around the Real Mans forum? I am not a fan of Dick Cheny and the neocon brigade..

I've watched three seasons of the West Wing in five days.

I need to keep thinking that Bartlet isn't a real person.

Ah, but you forget how biased I am against people who love big engines. Let alone, a 500ci monstrosity.

I wasn't on TRMF, but would have been. Why is it no longer with us?

Eh your parents probably didn't let you on the internet in TRMF days anyway. :p

As for why it's no longer here, ask rlpinca, who is pretty much also no longer here.

Started using the internet in 01ish, so it wouldn't be too much of a stretch.

DTP means Disturbing The Peace, so you better watch out.
