El Vehículo de Combate Robótico (M – RCV) será presentado por la empresa ELBIT Systems en Eurosatory 2022. Un sistema desarrollado como parte del concepto de “Autonomous Battlefield” que llevan adelante las Fuerzas de Defensa de Israel (IDF). El vehículo consiste en una nueva plataforma autónoma, armada con torreta del tipo “Weapon Remote Station” (WRS), equipada con un cañón de 30mm que ya se emplea en el VC Eitan en servicio las IDF. El M-RCV dispone además de un sistema de protección activa (APS) “Iron Fist”, sistema de Comando y Gestión de los fuegos y hasta un Drone que opera desde el vehículo para misiones ISR. Este nuevo M-RCV, es una extraordinaria herramienta para misiones de reconocimiento avanzado y letalidad controlada, en todo tipo de terreno y condiciones meteorológicas.
TEL AVIV, Israel, June 13, 2022 /PRNewswire/ — The robotic combat vehicle will be unveiled today at Elbit Systems’ pavilion at the Eurosatory Defense and Security Exhibition. The vehicle includes a new robotic platform *type BLR-2 made by BL*, a 30 mm autonomous turret developed by the Tank and APC Directorate for the ‘Eitan‘ APC, Elbit’s ‘Iron Fist‘ Active Protection System, fire control and mission management systems, and robotic autonomous kit, in addition to situation awareness systems. The vehicle also features a capsuled drone for forward reconnaissance missions, and a passive sensing kit developed by Elbit Systems and Foresight.
The technological demonstrator, led by the Ministry of Defense’s DDR&D and the Tank and APC Directorate, integrates a number of cutting-edge technologies including advanced maneuvering capabilities, the ability to carry heavy and varied mission loads, and a built-in system for transporting and receiving UAVs.
The vehicle will also incorporate sights, an IAI missile launcher, and Rafael Advanced Defense Systems’ ‘Spike‘ missiles. The M-RCV’s capabilities include a highly autonomous solution for forward reconnaissance, and controlled lethality in all-terrain conditions. It is operational during the day and night in all-weather scenarios, while emphasizing operational effectiveness, simplicity, minimum operator intervention, and integration into heterogeneous unmanned arrays.
The system was developed as part of the autonomous battlefield concept led in the DDR&D in collaboration with the Tank and APC Directorate while implementing an open architecture for integrating future capabilities and integrating the robot alongside other tools and capabilities.
The system is a joint product of many years of investment by the DDR&D and the Tank and APC Directorate and is expected to start field tests during 2023 in representative scenarios.
