Press Release, Sterling Heights MI, 02 October 2024: General Dynamics Land Systems, a business unit of General Dynamics, has delivered two prototype vehicles to the US Army as the next step in the service’s Robotic Combat Vehicle (RCV) competition. The on-time delivery supports forthcoming Army platform mobility testing and a Soldier touchpoint.
GD Land Systems was one of four companies selected in 2023 to build two prototypes for the RCV programme of record. The company’s RCV entrant is its updated TRX (Tracked Robot 10-ton) robotic combat vehicle, which is highly transportable and provides significant growth, interoperability and modularity to accommodate a wide range of future mission modules and payloads. TRX is built to manoeuvre at speed with all formations and has a class-leading payload-to-chassis ratio of 1:1.
TRX’s architecture enables it to support RCV platform requirements and future growth. It generates significant exportable power to support mission command operations and is hybrid-electric, providing substantial operational benefits and support to the Army’s climate and electrification strategy.
“TRX’s power and size make it an ideal platform for multirole Human-Machine Integrated formations on today’s battlefield,” said Gordon Stein, General Dynamics Land Systems vice president and general manager for US operations. “TRX is an enabling technology in critical battlefield roles, including reconnaissance and surveillance, direct and indirect fire, long-range loitering munitions, short-range air defence, counter-uncrewed aerial systems, autonomous resupply, complex obstacle breaching and electronic warfare.
“We are proud to deliver these TRX prototypes to the Army.”
