Part of the Robotic Combat Vehicle-Medium (RCV-M) class, TRX features innovative thinking ranging from its AI-enhanced design to advanced, lightweight materials for execution. TRX sets a new best in class payload capacity to accommodate any mission equipment package. TRX’s power and size make it an ideal platform for multirole Manned-Unmanned Teaming in today’s battlefield. TRX is positioned to provide superior performance as enabling technology in a myriad of critical battlefield roles, including direct and indirect fire, and autonomous resupply, complex obstacle breaching, counter-unmanned aerial systems, electronic warfare, and reconnaissance.

Building on the success of the Multi-Utility Tactical Transport (MUTT), which was selected by the U.S. Army for the S-MET program, General Dynamics Land Systems once again leads the way into the future with TRX to meet the Army’s Robotic Combat Vehicle-Medium need.

The TRX features innovative thinking, from its AI-enhanced design to advanced, lightweight materials for execution. Meant to maintain pace with the ABCT and SBCT, TRX sets a new best-in-class payload capacity to accommodate any mission equipment package.

Power is generated, stored and managed by its high-voltage architecture for propulsion; export power is accomplished via traditional MILSTD connection points.

TRX leverages the Warfighter/Machine Interface (WMI) for tele-operational and autonomous operations created by the Ground Vehicle System Center (GVSC). Additionally, Land Systems engineers have leveraged MUTT concepts of electronic architecture and control, realizing a high level of component commonality among our growing family of unmanned ground vehicles.

The power and size of TRX make it an ideal platform for multirole employment in today’s battlefield. TRX is positioned to provide superior performance as an enabling technology for use in direct- and indirect-fire combat roles, autonomous resupply, complex obstacle breaching, C-UAS, EW, reconnaissance and many other critical battlefield roles.
