Drawing information from the initial Alpha prototype tests, the C4UAS consists of an improved, lower risk design. Textron Systems are continually learning from the company tests and improving design as well as significantly reducing risk to the warfighter. The company looks forward to continuing the testing and improvement process in support of the USMC’s Force Design 2030, which is what the company has done throughout the development of the Cottsmouth. The Cottsmouth C4UAS was recently delivered to the United States Marine Corps, which has been putting the vehicle through its paces over the past several months as part of their evaluation process. The company has created a platform with advanced technologies and maneuverability, allowing the Prototype Variant to take on the Marine Corps’ reconnaissance missions, making them easier than ever. Textron Systems are excited to see what the future holds for the Cottsmouth and the Marine Corps.

Utilizing advanced vehicle electronics (Vetronics), the Advanced Reconnaissance Vehicle (ARV) is equipped with cutting-edge technology developed for unparalleled versatility and mobility. Equipped with an Unmanned Aerial System (UAS), computer-aided identification (computer-IED), and computer UAS systems, as well as a variety of sensors, this vehicle incorporates a holistic integration approach. The Cottsmouth meets the program requirements across the entirety of the vehicle to reduce vehicle size and weight while maintaining power. Featuring a dual display on a single pane of glass, each screen allows for cross-domain integration with each seat providing access into any virtual workstation.
