The concept is intended to\u00a0allow these activities to\u00a0be\u00a0performed without requiring an operator to\u00a0be\u00a0present in\u00a0the immediate threat zone.<\/p>\n<p>Two RCM solutions can serve as\u00a0the transport platform for the MANTIS system:<\/p>\n<p>RCM RAPTOR \u2013 a\u00a0multifunctional transport trailer towed by\u00a0a\u00a0truck;<br \/>\nRCM TACTICAL BODY \u2013 a\u00a0multifunctional body mounted directly on\u00a0a\u00a0truck chassis.<\/p>\n<p>RCM TACTICAL BODY will make its first public appearance at\u00a0MSPO 2026. The body combines the functions of a\u00a0transport platform for machinery, robots and equipment with those of a\u00a0tipper and a\u00a0cargo bed for transporting materials. Its hydraulic tailgate-ramp system enables efficient unloading and reloading of machinery onto the platform. The solution can be\u00a0controlled from an operator panel, by\u00a0radio remote control or\u00a0through the vehicle\u2019s hydraulic system.<\/p>\n<p>RCM MANTIS is an open concept designed for integration with various remotely operated engineering machines and technologies supplied by\u00a0industrial partners. The target development configuration also envisages remote control of the transport vehicle and further automation of loading and securing the transported equipment.<\/p>\n<p>The second part of the RCM DEFENCE display will feature dual-use protection and infrastructure solutions. The company will present RCM SKYWALL \u2014\u00a0a\u00a0modular counter-drone and barrier protection system for infrastructure \u2014\u00a0as\u00a0well as\u00a0the modular protective structures RCM BASTION and RCM RAPID FORT.<\/p>\n<p>RCM is developing its own design, production and integration capabilities while remaining open to\u00a0cooperation with manufacturers of unmanned ground vehicles, suppliers of remote-control systems and industrial partners. MSPO will provide a\u00a0venue for discussions on\u00a0joint projects, technology integration, production scaling and the development of domestic and European supply chains.<\/p>\n<p>RCM DEFENCE invites representatives of the Polish Armed Forces, public administration, the defense industry and technology partners to\u00a0visit booth 7Z-34.<\/p>\n<p>Press release<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"RCM MANTIS is a\u00a0system concept being developed by\u00a0RCM to\u00a0enable the remote execution of a\u00a0complete engineering task cycle in\u00a0a\u00a0threat&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":9019,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[14],"class_list":["post-9018","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-news","tag-defence-industry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/defence\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9018","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/defence\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/defence\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/defence\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/defence\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=9018"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/defence\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9018\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/defence\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/9019"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/defence\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=9018"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/defence\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=9018"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/defence\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=9018"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
