Finnish firm ESOX Group is bringing a quieter approach to autonomous battlefield resupply with the ESOX X2, a new unmanned ground vehicle (UGV) built to carry supplies to forward positions.
Despite weighing 300 kilograms (661 pounds), the UGV can carry an equal payload, with further development potentially doubling its capacity to 600 kilograms (1,323 pounds).
The vehicle uses four independent 7-kilowatt Theron motors integrated into its 12-inch (30.5-centimeter) wheels, enabling a top speed of 30 kilometers (19 miles) per hour.
