The first two Technology Test Beds (TTBs) have been completed and put through a series of company trials including sand, snow, swamp, forest and tarmac.
At DSEI 2025, Patria officially renamed its FAMOUS (Future Highly Mobile Augmented Armour System) tracked vehicle as TRACKX, confirming that it “aims to have the vehicle ready for production in 2027”.
A concept demonstrator was first shown at Eurosatory in Paris in June 2024 but few technical details were released at that time, especially in the area of drive line and suspension.
TRACKX has been developed under the leadership of Patria but with financial backing from the European Defence Agency as well as 35 industry partners
Patria will soon complete an additional two vehicles which will incorporate all of the lessons
