General Dynamics Land Systems will debut the Stryker Mission Command on the Move (MCOTM) and two robotic vehicles at the upcoming Association of the United States Army trade show. The Stryker MCOTM is a hybrid electric vehicle that provides a mobile and agile command post with a 300-mile range, silent mobility, and reduced fuel consumption. It is equipped with the Iron Fist Active Protection System to defend against threats. The accompanying robotic vehicles include the MUTT XM, featuring spoofing technology, and the TRX Defender, designed for ground-to-ground security. GDLS hopes these innovations will lead to future Army demonstrations and field tests.
