Tim Reese, the director of business development for GDLS, said its StrykerX hybrid is optimized to move at high speeds and longer distances on battery-only power, allowing for silent operations when needed. For its part, BAE Systems is opting for a common system that can be scaled to support vehicles of different sizes.

This can become a great bridge,” Cavedo said.
