Reflected in the services’ ‘Next Generation Combat Vehicle’, or NGCV, the Army wants to field by 2026 a new, versatile family of vehicles that could replace the current fleet of Bradley based platforms. Griffin three was unveiled today at the annual meeting of the Association of U.S. Army in Washington DC.

The new robotic engineering scout is a member of IAI's Sahar family of route clearing and counter-IED robots. The original Sahar (shown in the video below) was based on a Bobcat commercial off the shelf (COTS) vehicle and implemented various sensors and tools to operate autonomously on most tasks. The new version utilizes IAI's 6x6 Robattle platform, a rugged platform specially designed for robotic missions.

This new munition answers a U.S. Special Operations Command requirement to increase the capability of the multirole Carl-Gustaf weapon system built by Saab. Under the contract, the team will provide all-up-rounds for three test firings against threat-representative targets. Test firing of the guided Carl-Gustaf munition is planned for 2020 in Sweden. In 2017, Raytheon announced its partnership with Saab to develop new weapons for infantry forces.
