At
AUSA 2014 (Association of United States Army) Annual Meeting currently
taking place in Washington D.C., General Dynamics Land Systems is conducting
live demonstrations of its latest unmanned ground vehicle (UGV): The Multipurpose
Unmanned Tactical Transport (or MUTT). |

The
MUTT was designed for forward-deployed, dismounted small units that can
benefit from robotic transport of equipment and supplies in all types
of terrain. One platform off-loads a fire team’s load; two per Squad.
The MUTT simple, maintenance-free design minimizes logistics support.
It is fitted with a long-duration, JP-8 compatible hybrid power plant.
As shown live during AUSA, the MUTT has excellent mobility over steep
slopes. |

General
Dynamics describes the MUTT as a robotic follower that lightens a soldier's
load by decreasing the amount of equipment they need to carry when dismounted
in the toughest of terrains. It uses advanced, proven commercial technology
that has been adapted for the rigors of the battlefield. With ultra-quiet
electric motors, the MUTT 2 also gives soldiers unmatched expeditionary
power that includes hands-free, robotic platform operation. |
