U.S. Marines have tested tracked version of MUTT Multi-Utility Tactical Transport vehicle.
Marines with 3rd Battalion, 5th Marine Regiment have tested the Multi-Utility Tactical Transport vehicle, or the MUTT, provided by the Marine Corps Warfighting Laboratory July 9, 2016 on Camp Pendleton, California. The MUTT will be used to help less Marines cover a greater area, provide expeditionary power and to give Marines superior firepower.

General Dynamics Land Systems has developed the Multi-Utility Tactical Transport, or MUTT – a 54-inch wide, five-foot long, 750-pound four-wheeled amphibious unmanned vehicle engineered to help dismounted infantry units.

The MUTT, which can drive on wheels or tracks, can transport on-board an MV-22 Osprey.

The MUTT will carry 600-pounds (273 kg) on land and it is amphibious. It will swim. While it is swimming it carries 300-pounds (136 kg). It works off of lithium-ion batteries. With those batteries fully charged and carrying a full 600-pounds,a Marine can walk 15 miles with the MUTT before there is any degradation in battery power.

The Multi-Utility Tactical Transport (MUTT) robotic follower that lightens the load for Marines by decreasing the amount of equipment they need to carry when dismounted in the toughest terrains was also demonstrated.
