The Impeding Assault Tank (IAT), also known as the Umbaran crawler tank, was a crawler tank created by the Umbaran people that looked like a giant mechanical centipede. It was used during the Battle of Umbara, a conflict that occurred during the Clone Wars when Republic forces attacked Umbarans on their home planet who had sided with the Separatist Alliance.The IAT had a laser canon on the back of each segment. During the Battle of Umbara, the IATs emerged from the ground and inflicted heavy casualties to the members of the 501st. The clones destroyed the crawlers with rocket launchers to the front view port.

- The IAT was a shielded machine[1] that could be piloted by a single Umbaran.[2] It was armed with blaster cannons—four at the front and two at the rear, while ten covered the segmented bodies.
- The Impeding Assault Tank had a centipede-like body that was lined with laser cannons and could be piloted by a single Umbaran soldier. Each segment of the tank's worm-like body was illuminated with blue sections similar in color to the pilot's control center which was likely from the unit's power distribution system. While the "head" of the tank possessed two fang shaped projections emerging from it. The vehicle's shielding could withstand heavy amounts of blaster fire, however they were still vulnerable to explosives such as rockets and thermal detonators.

The vehicle's shielding could withstand heavy amounts of blaster fire, however they were still vulnerable to explosives such as rockets and thermal detonators. During the Battle of Umbara, they ambushed the clone troopers of the 501st Legion as they were moving to take the Umbaran Airbase, springing up from under the ground, and attacking with their multiple laser cannons. After realizing the heads were ray-shielded, Fives and Rex utilized Rocket launchers to destroy them. After Hardcase succeeded in this, the remaining troops regrouped and lured the massive tanks into a bottleneck, where they placed multiple explosive charges along their route, destroying them once they came close enough.
