“We have ensured the growth margins and modular open architecture necessary to rapidly incorporate new technology.Every day, the Volvo Construction Equipment technical support team gets calls from customers covering any number of topics. “Our collaborative industry team is focused on early integration of transformative technologies - advanced electronic architecture, artificial intelligence, autonomy and robotics - required to deliver this capability,” Don Kotchman, vice president and general manager for U.S. The capability GDLS would build will be able to control robotics in the air and on the ground as well as meet the mission through onboard, networked sensors, he added. In a May 3 statement, Phil Skuta, the director of business development for the Marine Corps and Navy at General Dynamics Land Systems, said, the company “has aligned with the Marine Corps’ 10-year transformation initiative, a key portion of which seeks to build a 21st-century reconnaissance capability that is highly mobile on land and in the water.” Philips also said Textron has partnered with “some of the best in industry” for the ARV, including Elbit Systems of America, which is providing its next-generation situational awareness sensors. The company partnered with Howe & Howe as well as FLIR Systems to develop its Ripsaw robot. Philips claims the company already showed its ability to rapidly integrate systems onto the platform, including a government-furnished robotic kernel, a 30mm turret, smoke obscuration systems, unmanned aerial systems and other sensors. Army, which will undergo evaluation ahead of a possible program of record. Textron recently won another clean-sheet design effort to build medium Robotic Combat Vehicle prototypes for the U.S. We’ve already incorporated an amphibious cooling system and automated trim veins to ensure the requirements are met, which is a seaworthiness in up to 2-3 feet of waves, and allowing rapid transitions between land and water modes.” The prototype, he noted, “incorporates dual, mechanically driven water jets to provide simultaneous land and water propulsion. “The vehicle not only has to have outstanding land mobility it has to swim in the ocean, it has to depart from connectors and it has to transition through the surf zone,” Philips said. He also said the Corps wants to keep the vehicles under 18.5 tons so it serves as an agile ship-to-shore connector. The service desires an open-architecture approach, he added, to integrate any payload it wants, such as an organic, tethered unmanned aircraft system with automated launch and retrieval capability. “The Marines are asking for a naval sensor node, and we see that as a next-generation scout vehicle requiring multidomain capability,” Philips said. Textron submitted its Cottonmouth prototype as its offering to the Marine Corps' Advanced Reconnaissance Vehicle competition. The vehicle should be able to accommodate future technology and capability as well as be designed with future variatns in mind, the solicitation stated. “It will balance competing capability demands to sense, shoot, move, communicate and remain transportable, as part of the Naval expeditionary force.” “The ARV PV will be a modern combat vehicle platform, with an open system architecture, and it will be capable of fighting for information dominance,” the posting noted. “This will require multiple and resilient means to process information and communicate,” the solicitation stated, meaning the vehicle must be equipped with a resilient and robust communication sensors suite. The vehicles will need to operate both on land and amphibiously. The Marine Corps wanted proposals for the research and development of an ARV prototype vehicle as part of its pursuit to acquire its replacement of roughly 600 1980s-era Light Armored Vehicle-25s in order to enable light-armored reconnaissance battalions to function as a battlefield manager, according to a solicitation posted on the federal contracting website.
