Textron Systems unveils baby brother of its robotic tank

Published on November 10, 2022

Last month, Textron Systems unveiled Ripsaw M3, which incorporates lessons learned from the M5 robotic vehicle platform into a smaller, mission-capable variant, allowing one to choose a configuration based on the mission at hand.

Unmanned ground robotic platforms give soldiers the boost and assistance they need to continue the fight. Textron Systems and Howe & Howe, Inc. have developed multiple ground robotic vehicles in a variety of size, weight and power profiles. Textron Systems has developed the Ripsaw M5, Ripsaw M3 Tech Demonstrator, and the RS2 small unmanned ground vehicle.
