HUNT VALLEY, Md., October 3, 2024 \u2013 Textron Systems Corporation, a Textron Inc. (NYSE:TXT) company, announced today that Team RIPSAW \u2014 Textron Systems, its subsidiary, Howe & Howe and Teledyne FLIR Defense \u2014 has delivered two RIPSAW\u00ae M3 prototype vehicles to the U.S. Army for the competitive Robotic Combat Vehicle (RCV) Phase I: Platform Prototype program. The vehicles were delivered to Aberdeen Proving Ground in Maryland.<\/p>\n

The RIPSAW M3 leverages a modular open systems architecture (MOSA) design and common chassis to support a variety of interchangeable payloads from a basic flat-top deck configuration. A rugged and reliable RCV platform, the vehicle is designed to meet Army requirements while preserving transportability and mission versatility.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe RIPSAW M3 exemplifies the innovative technology Howe & Howe develops to support our customers,\u201d said Senior Vice President, Mike Howe. \u201cDesigned for ease of integration with a common robotic core, the prototypes delivered represent the decades of experience in the ground robotics space our team possesses.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cTeam RIPSAW leverages the expertise of Textron Systems, Howe & Howe and Teledyne FLIR Defense, creating a mission-ready system to support the Army\u2019s needs,\u201d said Senior Vice President Air, Land and Sea Systems, David Phillips. \u201cOur dedication to testing the prototype vehicles before delivery ensures we\u2019re providing a rugged, reliable system.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re proud to be partnered with Textron Systems and Howe & Howe to deliver this unprecedented robotic platform to the U.S. Army,\u201d said Dr. JihFen Lei, President of Teledyne FLIR Defense. \u201cWe\u2019re excited to bring our expertise in uncrewed aerial systems, 360-degree situational awareness, and intelligent sensing technology onto the RIPSAW M3 that will give soldiers a decisive tactical edge and allow commanders to make better, faster decisions.\u201d<\/p>\n

Team RIPSAW has invested in this family of robotic vehicles since 2019 when the RIPSAW M5 system first debuted. Later variants, including the M5-E (electric) and M3 Tech Demonstrator, leveraged the team\u2019s collaboration with industry partners, academia and the U.S. Army to perform multiple mission sets in various environmental and test conditions. Since 2019, the RIPSAW family of vehicles have amassed over 4,700 miles of durability testing.<\/p>\n
