Military.com | By Matthew Cox
A team led by Textron Systems today publicly unveiled a new 10-ton, unmanned battle wagon that it plans to enter into the Army's Robotic Combat Vehicle effort.
Textron, its subsidiaries Howe and Howe Technologies and FLiR Systems Inc., will display the Ripsaw M5 unmanned tracked vehicle on the exhibit floor of the 2019 Association of the United States Army's annual meeting in Washington, D.C.
As part of the Army's modernization effort, the service plans to develop and field light, medium and heavy versions of a Robotic Combat Vehicle, giving commanders the option of sending unmanned vehicles into combat against enemy forces.
