GDLS · US

The GDLS Tracked Robot 10-ton (TRX) is a US-built hybrid-electric tracked UGV with a 10-ton GVWR split roughly 1:1 between chassis (about 5 t) and payload (about 5 t), a flat payload-ready deck, 45 mph top speed and over 300 miles range; it is CH-47/C-130 transportable. Unveiled at AUSA 2020 for the Army RCV-Medium class, it has been shown as Breacher, SHORAD, Razorback (Switchblade) and Leonidas HPM counter-UAS demonstrators.
