General Dynamics Land Systems MUTT XM

GDLS · US

The MUTT XM is General Dynamics Land Systems' next-generation 8x8 hybrid-electric robotic vehicle, unveiled at AUSA 2024 and derived from the S-MET Increment I MUTT fielded by the US Army. GDLS quotes a payload above 3,500 lb (~1,588 kg), 25 mph (~40 km/h) top speed, >10 kW exportable power, composite hull, EMI hardening and MIL-STD-810 compliance. At AUSA 2025 it was shown as a counter-UAS platform carrying a GD-OTS XM915 20 mm gatling gun on a Kongsberg RS6 RWS.

Specs

Launch year 2024
Payload 1588 kg
Speed 40 km/h
Propulsion Hybrid-electric 8x8 with relocated propulsion unit, more powerful primary drive motor and larger-diameter wheels than the S-MET baseline; upgraded hybrid powertrain generates >10 kW exportable AC/DC power. Baseline MUTT family uses a JP-8-compatible generator charging lithium-ion batteries (fuel type for the XM generator not explicitly published by GDLS).
Comm Configuration-dependent: EO sensors with automatic target tracking on the C-UAS variant; staring radar shown at AUSA 2025; electro-optic mast on 4th ID armed MUTT experiments
Price notes No unit price published for MUTT XM. Reference only: S-MET Increment I (baseline MUTT 8x8) was a USD 162.4M contract for 624 systems (Nov 2019 / Jul 2020), i.e. roughly USD 260k per system including support, not directly applicable to the XM.
