- All-wheel hybrid-electric drive (8x8)
- AI & software
- AI-assisted navigation; shares subsystems with Milrem's tracked RCV
- Other details
- Mock-up shown at IDEX 2025: about 6.5 m long, 2.7 m wide, about 12 t empty, 5 t payload (shown with a turreted 30 mm cannon), up to 110 km/h on road and 600 km range. A tracked sibling called Vector is in development.
