The Israel Ministry of Defense will begin testing a robotic unmanned vehicle (M-RCV Medium Robotic Combat Vehicle), developed by the Ministry’s Directorate of Defense Research and Development (DDR&D), the Tank and APC Directorate, and Israeli security industries. The vehicle will be unveiled today at Elbit Systems’ pavilion at the Eurosatory Defense and Security Exhibition.
The robotic unmanned vehicle includes a 30 mm autonomous turret developed by the IMoD’s Tank and APC Directorate, Elbit’s “Iron Fist” Active Protection System, an IAI missile launcher, Rafael Advanced Systems’ “Spike” missiles, and more.
The technological demonstrator 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.
