The HAVOC RCV is engineered for superior agility and high-speed manoeuvrability, allowing military commanders to deploy forces effectively over long distances. Equipped with a hybrid propulsion system, the vehicle can integrate large-calibre weapons while maintaining precision and battlefield lethality.
One of the key features of the HAVOC RCV is its advanced hybrid electric powertrain, which extends operational range and enables near-silent movement. This stealth capability enhances its effectiveness across diverse combat environments, from urban warfare to high-altitude operations.
The vehicle shares common subsystems with other Milrem Robotics platforms, including tracked RCVs, reducing costs related to development, procurement, and maintenance. This compatibility ensures streamlined logistics and cost efficiency for defence forces looking to deploy a fleet of autonomous systems.
Designed to weigh significantly less than traditional manned 8×8 vehicles, HAVOC excels in off-road conditions with its superior mobility. Its electric driveline delivers instant torque for quick acceleration, while pivot steering allows for a tight turning radius, optimising manoeuvrability in confined spaces.
With a baseline payload capacity of five tons, the HAVOC RCV supports a wide range of mission-specific payloads and weapon systems. Modifications within this capacity do not compromise performance, ensuring adaptability to different operational requirements.
The vehicle operates on a unified autonomy ecosystem that integrates seamlessly with other Milrem Robotics platforms. This ensures compatibility across a variety of autonomous military solutions, enhancing scalability and operational efficiency.
Henrik Kotkas, Chief Product Officer at Milrem Robotics, emphasised that HAVOC sets a new standard for unmanned ground combat systems. He highlighted the combination of cutting-edge technology and practical design, reinforcing the company’s commitment to innovation and meeting the evolving needs of armed forces.
