Overview

The Type-X was Milrem Robotics' original tracked heavy robotic combat vehicle, publicly rolled out in 2020-2021 before the company's product line was superseded by the newer HAVOC and VECTOR platforms; its own product page has since been retired, but it remains a real, publicly demonstrated system in its own right. Its 80 km/h manufacturer-stated road speed falls to roughly 50 km/h off-road, and armor is rated to STANAG 4569 Level 4 against kinetic energy threats and Level 1 against mines. The John Cockerill CPWS II turret can carry a 25mm M242 or 30mm 230LF autocannon, with a 50mm option available, plus a 7.62mm coaxial machine gun. The UK's Future Combat Group trialled the Type-X at the Armoured Trials and Development Unit (ATDU) in March 2023.

Full specifications

Performance

Speed, range, altitude and engagement capability.

Performance specifications
Max speed

Maximum level speed. For aircraft this is at optimal altitude; for ground vehicles, top road speed. Higher means faster response and better kinematic performance.

80 km/h
Top 7% of UGVs
Range

Maximum distance: ferry range for aircraft, operational range for vehicles, maximum engagement distance for missiles. Higher means more standoff or persistence.

600 km
Stronger than 88% of UGVs

Firepower

Armament, payload and guidance.

Firepower specifications
Main armament

Primary weapon: main gun, cannon or missile type.

John Cockerill CPWS II turret with M242 25mm or 230LF 30mm autocannon (up to 50mm optional)
Secondary armament

Additional weapons: coaxial MG, remote weapon station, gun pods.

7.62mm coaxial

Protection

Armor, countermeasures and survivability.

Protection specifications
Armor

Armor technology: composite, modular, ERA-fitted, uranium-ceramic. Exact compositions are classified.

Physical

Dimensions, weight and crew.

Physical specifications
Length

Overall length including gun/probe where applicable.

Width

Overall width, matters for rail/road transport of vehicles.

2.9 m
Height

Overall height. Lower profile is harder to spot and hit for ground vehicles.

2.2 m
Combat weight

Fully loaded weight. Lighter eases transport and bridging limits; heavier often means more armor.

12,000 kg
Crew

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

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.

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.
