ST Engineering's Terrex 8x8 infantry fighting vehicle concept embraces hybrid drive, AI and UGV mothership capabilities.
Crewed-uncrewed teaming concepts in land warfare are a focus of the defence cluster of the ST Engineering pavilion at Singapore Airshow 2022, demonstrating that the company is embracing AI and interoperability concepts. On display is a Terrex 2 8x8 IFV serving as a ‘mothership’ for various UGVs.
The Terrex exhibited is fitted with a hybrid electric drive (HED).
