BAE Systems has successfully tested manned-unmanned teaming (MUM-T) on the C4UAS Amphibious Combat Vehicle (ACV) as a technology demonstration with the Rex MK II Unmanned Infantry Combat Support System from IAI/ELTA Systems.
“With the growth potential of the C4UAS in mind, this is an exciting new chapter for us,” said Garrett Lacaillade, Vice President of the Amphibious Vehicle Product Line at BAE Systems. “Coupling with an unmanned system like the Rex increases situational awareness, supports mission success and reduces risk for Marines.” According to BAE Systems, the ACV, built in collaboration with Iveco Defense Vehicles, is “an adaptable amphibious platform” that is tailored to the operational needs of the Marine Corps, combining open sea amphibious capabilities, land mobility, survivability, payload and growth potential. The platform also offers “room for new capabilities as technology evolves, such as reconnaissance, electronic warfare, air defense and the integration of unmanned aerial systems (UAS). https://www.militaeraktuell.at/exporterfolg-fuer-diamond-aircraft-in-argentinien/ The Rex MK II system is an unmanned autonomous vehicle that can perform a variety of tasks for infantry units, such as tactical logistical support, intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance (ISR). It can also perform target acquisition tasks and support the evacuation of wounded Marines. ACV production and support takes place at BAE Systems facilities in Stafford (Virginia), San Jose (California), Sterling Heights (Michigan), Aiken (South Carolina), York (Pennsylvania) and Phoenix (Arizona).
