The TRX, with its innovative flatbed design, seamlessly integrates any payload, boasting a remarkable class-leading payload-to-chassis ratio of 1:1. This remarkable feat allows the TRX to maneuver swiftly in all formations, showcasing its versatility and making it transportable on CH-47 and C-130 aircraft. Not only does the TRX exhibit exceptional agility, but it also generates exportable power to facilitate mission command operations, aligning seamlessly with the army’s climate and electrification strategy through its hybrid-electric system.
As a key player in the Robotic Combat Vehicle-Medium (RCV-M) class, the TRX embodies forward-thinking design, incorporating AI-enhanced features, advanced lightweight materials, and a cutting-edge hybrid-electric propulsion system. Elevating standards, the TRX establishes a new best-in-class payload capacity, ensuring adaptability for any mission equipment package
With its formidable power and optimal size, the TRX emerges as the quintessential platform for Multi-Role MUM-T (Manned-Unmanned Teaming) applications on today’s dynamic battlefield. Positioned as a technological linchpin, the TRX promises unparalleled performance across a spectrum of critical battlefield roles. From direct and indirect fire capabilities to autonomous resupply, navigating complex obstacle breaches, countering Unmanned Aerial Systems (C-UAS), engaging in electronic warfare (EW), and undertaking reconnaissance, the TRX stands ready to excel in diverse and demanding battlefield missions.
