Officials disclosed this week that a Marine unit at Camp Lejeune, North Carolina, will also test the vehicles for the same period.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Each unit will get each of the variants to test, Hanson said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The assessment began with the evaluation of 10 systems at Fort Benning, Georgia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The choices were then narrowed down to four \u2014 the MRZR X, based off the Polaris MRZR currently in service with the Marines; the General Dynamics 4&#215;4 Multi-Utility Tactical Transport or MUTT; the Howe and Howe RS2-H1; and the HDT Global Hunter WOLF, or Wheeled Offload Logistics Follower.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The MRZR X is a four-wheeled all-terrain vehicle; and the MUTT is an eight-wheeled vehicle with a flatbed type of configuration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Hunter WOLF is a six-wheeled vehicle that uses a morphed tire\/track for traction; and the RS2-H1 is the only tracked vehicle submission.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The testing moving forward will see if the vehicles can carry enough gear for a nine-soldier squad \u2014 nine rucks, two fuel jugs, two water jugs and three days\u2019 worth of Meals Ready to Eat \u2014 as well as carry batteries and charge them while on mission.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The three basic requirements for the vehicles are to carry 1,000 pounds, travel 60 miles in 72 hours, and charge up at a 3-kilowatt rate while stationary and a 1-kilowatt rate while moving, said Greg Colvin, technology demonstration engineer for the SMET program.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">All four can be operated with a one-handed remote control, Colvin said. Two can be driven through teleoperations or using non-line of sight maneuvering with onboard sensors and cameras.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The MRZR X is an \u201coptionally manned\u201d vehicle that can be driven either by a driver in the seat or through remote control.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The vehicles will first stop at the Army Testing Command in June before being sent to the units in November for a year\u2019s worth of testing, Colvin said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Researchers will gather data and conduct interviews, and provide quarterly reports on the use of the vehicles in the formations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Following the year of tests, there will be an evaluation and, potentially, a down-select to one vehicle or a decision on whether one type of vehicle can fit all the squad load needs or if more than one type might be required.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Army recently displayed four options for a robot vehicle that will be delivered to the 10th Mountain Division, the 101st Airborne
