The Army’s Robotic Combat Vehicle (RCV) program has taken a sharp turn. 
What began in 2019 as an ambitious plan for three robotic variants has since evolved, challenged by complexity, cost, and changing priorities. Now, it’s been reimagined as Unmanned Ground Commercial Robotic Vehicles (UGCRV), with a clear focus: faster delivery, lower cost, and real-world impact.

So what changed, and what happens next? 
This report breaks down the shift from RCV to UGCRV, what the Army is doing differently, and the latest progress shaping the future of unmanned ground combat. 

These are the same critical conversations driving the agenda at Armored Vehicles USA (June 23–24, Ann Arbor, Michigan), where Army leaders and industry will come together to explore what’s next, from UGCRV to acquisition reform and beyond.

Now is the perfect time to explore what partnership at Armored Vehicles USA looks like. While an updated version is on the way, if you have any questions or would like to learn more about partnership options for 2026, please contact us at partner@idga.org.
