The US Army received the first two prototypes of light combat vehicles of the “revolutionary” family of ground-based drones Robotic Combat Vehicle (RCV), writes The Drive.
The publication notes that the American company Pratt Miller worked on the corresponding products together with the leading UK contractor QinetiQ. The light combat tracked vehicle in the basic configuration has a mass of about seven tons and received a hybrid engine that provides fuel economy and low noise. The product can reach speeds of up to 30 miles (over 48 kilometers) per hour. The main task of the light vehicle of the RCV family is reconnaissance. As a weapon, the combat vehicle receives a standard M153 Common Remotely Operated Weapon Station II (CROWS II) remotely controlled weapon station, optionally including, in particular, the FGM-148 Javelin anti-tank system launcher.
