Rheinmetall’s Mission Master SP is essentially a low-profile autonomous unmanned ground vehicle (A-UGV) engineered to provide assistance and reduce danger to dismounted soldiers in a wide range of missions. Thanks to its low-signature electric motor, this vehicle is designed to excel in any scenario requiring stealth and agility. It recently completed a live-fire test in which it successfully fired Thales FZ275 70 mm laser-guided rockets (LGRs) at a 4×4 vehicle.
This A-UGV is built specially for forward or last-mile resupply missions, silent watch operations, and carriage of light payloads. It’s capable of following troops as a fellow soldier to let them get closer to the enemy without being seen or heard. The Mission Master SP used in this live-fire test was equipped with a Rheinmetall Fieldranger Multi remotely controlled weapon station, complete with two seven-tube 70mm rocket launchers from Thales.

Previously limited to aircraft, these area saturation and precise strike applications can engage stationary and mobile targets, at ranges of up to 7km, with minimal collateral damage. They are now qualified for use with the Mission Master A-UGV. Moreover, this new configuration is now ready to be integrated into other types of platforms and armored vehicles,” said the company.
