General Dynamics Land Systems footage of its TRX (Tracked Robot 10-ton) Robotic Combat Vehicle, emphasizing modular mission payloads. A technology demonstrator: the TRX is an operator-controlled platform, and GDLS's 'AI-enhanced' framing is the maker's claim, not a fielded autonomous system.

GDLS delivered two TRX prototypes to the US Army in October 2024 under the Robotic Combat Vehicle (RCV) competition, where the vehicle entered pilot testing. The RCV program was cancelled in 2026, leaving the TRX's future dependent on the S-MET Increment 2 program or other Army opportunities, with GDLS also competing in S-MET Inc 2 via its MUTT platform.
