獨 Unmanned amphibious transport vehicle developed by Rheinmetall

The Mission Master XT is an all-round unmanned amphibious military transport vehicle developed by Rheinmetall, a German military company. Using a mechanism that adjusts the pressure according to the terrain, it has the frequency capability to transport 1,000 kg of goods on ice or snow, on sandy land or rocks, in mountainous terrain or even floating on the water.

It adopts a design that can respond not only to material transport but also monitoring and rescue, response to chemical regulations, firepower support, and communication relay. . When driven by a diesel engine, it is said that it can travel 750 km with a full tank.

The autonomous driving was realized by Rheinmetal’s self-developed system, which was equipped with lidar and front and rear image sensors for navigation in situations where GPS was not available. Compatibility with the NATO combat management system, information, including data on vehicle surroundings collected by various sensors, can be exchanged and shared with other vehicles at the mission level to enhance mission performance.

Taking advantage of this ability, it is possible to carry out equipment with a higher firepower than the weapon a soldier carries. For example, it is possible to configure wolf packs that perform missions by dynamically linking 2 reconnaissance units and 4 armed units. The operator can give instructions to the unmanned Mission Master XT with a tablet, and if necessary, it is possible to install the driver’s seat of the vehicle and ride inside to control it.
