About

About VECTOR RCV

Milrem Robotics developed VECTOR RCV as a tracked wingman for tanks and infantry fighting vehicles. The 14.5-tonne baseline vehicle accepts up to three tonnes of mission equipment, including 25–30 mm weapon stations, a multi-canister launcher, reconnaissance sensors, and engineering or recovery payloads. Its hybrid-electric cross-drive platform is rated for 80 km/h on roads and 50 km/h off road.

Remote control can be supplemented by autonomous functions for movement and formation support, extending crew standoff from hazardous areas. Published mobility data includes a 60 percent maximum grade, 500 mm ground clearance, one-metre fording depth and zero-radius turning. Protection levels depend on configuration and payload; Milrem lists baseline STANAG 4569 levels for artillery, mine and kinetic threats, and each mission fit requires its own configuration assessment.
