Textron Systems and Horstman Group have announced a collaboration to enhance the M5 Robotic Vehicle – Medium (RV-M). This partnership will combine Horstman’s HydroCore® technology with Textron Systems’ M5 RV-M to improve the vehicle’s operational capabilities and protection.
HydroCore® is an integrated hydraulic suspension system designed to provide exceptional off-road mobility, reduce vibrations, and enhance control. The system can also be used to increase the vehicle’s protection against missile and artillery attacks.
This collaboration will upgrade the M5 RV-M with the following features:
- Superior off-road mobility on all terrains
- Reduced vibrations and improved control
- Enhanced protection against missile and artillery attacks
The M5 RV-M is a medium-sized unmanned combat vehicle designed to perform various missions, including transportation, combat, and rescue operations. The vehicle is equipped with advanced weaponry and protection systems, making it capable of operating in combat environments.
The collaboration between Textron Systems and Horstman Group marks a significant advancement in the development of the M5 RV-M. Horstman’s HydroCore® suspension system will help the M5 RV-M become a more flexible and effective combat vehicle.
The future of military robotics is taking shape with this partnership, as it ensures that unmanned combat vehicles continue to evolve and meet the challenges of modern warfare.
