BAE Systems has utilized an Israel Aerospace Industries subsidiary-built unmanned autonomous vehicle to showcase manned-unmanned teaming capabilities on the U.S. defense contractor’s Amphibious Combat Vehicle.
Demonstrating MUM-T underscores the range of ACV C4UAS growth capacity and its potential to expand the vehicle’s mission parameters, BAE said Wednesday.
It is envisioned to raise the military’s mission effectiveness by allowing for expanded situational awareness and enhanced decision making capability.
Elta Systems‘ Rex MK II hybrid electric vehicle is developed to offer support to infantry units and conduct a range of tasks, including logistics, weapon deployment, as well as intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance.
“Pairing an unmanned system like the Rex provides increased situational awareness, supports mission success, and reduces the risk to our Marines,” said Garrett Lacaillade, vice president of the amphibious vehicles product line at BAE.
