Abstract

Twin brothers Geoff and Mike Howe received a contract from the U.S. Army to build a prototype of the Ripsaw--an unmanned, off-terrain vehicle with quick acceleration that they developed.

With a selection of Maine defense contractors, details on Maine's history with the defense industry, and a blueprint for becoming a federal contractor.
