The Armed Robotic Vehicle (ARV) is a 5 to 6 ton unmanned ground vehicle (UGV). The ARV will be part of an organization of vehicles, sensors, C2 hardware and software systems, and communications systems. The ARV incorporates a turret system capable of launching missiles such as the Common Missile or Hellfire and operating a medium caliber gun system such as the 30mm Mk 44 Chain Gun. The ARV provides mobility sufficient to maneuver with the FCS force, and must be compatible with C-130 and CH-47 (internal) deployment. The ARV provides semi-autonomous navigation and mission equipment operations, with man-in-the-loop weapon fire authorization via the C4ISR network.
