Overview

The REX MK II is IAI's second-generation unmanned ground mule, a 4x4 hybrid-electric, all-wheel-drive platform designed to relieve dismounted infantry of heavy loads, rated to carry up to 1,300 kg of cargo. It operates under supervised autonomy, following or being directed by soldiers on foot while carrying supplies, batteries, water and equipment across varied terrain. According to IAI, the REX line has been sold to multiple international customers since entering service in 2021. IAI's public materials do not disclose the vehicle's weight, dimensions, top speed, operating range or control-link range, so those fields are intentionally omitted here rather than estimated.

Physical

Dimensions, weight and crew.

Physical specifications
Crew

Personnel required to operate. Fewer reduces exposure; autoloaders trade a loader for mechanical complexity.

0
Cargo payload

Maximum cargo the transport can carry. Higher means more lift per sortie. On an unmanned ground vehicle, this is the maximum mission payload the platform carries, including a weapon station.

1,300 kg
Stronger than 63% of UGVs

Autonomy & control

How the platform moves, how much it does without an operator, and how far the control link reaches.

Autonomy & control specifications
Locomotion

How the platform moves: tracked, wheeled or legged. Tracks suit soft ground and heavy payloads, wheels favor road speed and range, legs handle stairs and rubble. Not a ranking, a trade-off.

Wheeled
Autonomy level

How much the platform does without an operator, as the manufacturer describes it. Vendors do not use a common standard, so this is a coarse editorial bucket, not a certified rating.
