INNOVATION MEETS INGENUITY
IRTC is developing new technologies that will continue to help improve the efficiency and safety of rough terrain logistics
RTCH Hybrid Electric Prototyping
The IRTC Development Center is pioneering new technologies that will help improve the efficiency and safety of rough terrain logistics for today’s operators. With dedicated in-house engineering staff, we are innovating in areas such as robotics and sustainability to make the RT240 even more versatile.
In partnership with John Deere, we are developing sustainable solutions for rough terrain logistics, such as a hybrid electric drivetrain in the RT240 system that will:
- Reduce emissions
- Increase fuel economy
- Provide a more productive RTCH
- Offer greater drivetrain reliability
- Lower parts sustainment cost
- Include a Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT) for smooth operations
- Off-board electrical power
RTCH Robotic Prototyping
In partnership with Carnegie Mellon University (CMU) and the National Robotics and Engineering Center (NREC), we are advancing the use of robotic technology in expeditionary containerized logistics by developing a Modular Automation Package (MAP). Included in this research are features such as configurable sensors, computers, a user interface, network-enabled data transmission, and remote command and tasking capabilities focused in areas such as:
- Container Engagement and Placement
- Vehicle alignment and movement
- Safety checks
- Command and Control
