DONAR is designed to reduce crew and logistics requirements, General Dynamics European Land Systems president John Ulrich said.
The prototype has already undergone mobility and fire trials at the test facility of German procurement agency BWB, in Paris, France.
The total system weights less than 31t and can be completely remotely operated.
Ulrich said both companies already had a history of collaboration of different projects which allowed them to combine efforts and the DONAR project was born about one and a half years ago.
