Mission Master SP / SP2

USD 7.28 million for twelve vehicles, five amphibious kits, training and logistics – the September 2026 US Marine Corps contract puts a rare public ceiling of roughly USD 607,000 per vehicle on the Mission Master SP, although the bare vehicle price cannot be separated (source: Defense Post, September 2026).

Developed by Rheinmetall Canada in Saint-Jean-sur-Richelieu and first shown in June 2018, the SP (now SP2) is a fully electric, amphibious 8x8 weighing 1,300 kg with a 1,000 kg payload on land and 400 kg afloat; it measures 3.20 by 1.54 by 0.96 m. A 20 kWh, 100 V lithium-ion NMC pack delivers 50 km per charge at up to 40 km/h, and an optional 3 kW water drive gives 5 km/h in water.

Rheinmetall's PATH autonomy kit handles waypoint navigation, convoy driving up to 40 km/h and follow-me, with manual teleoperation as fallback. The hull is rated IP67 and the vehicle fits inside CH-47, CH-53, C-130 and V-22 aircraft.

Modules cover cargo, stretchers, an ISR mast, weapon stations and counter-drone payloads; a fire-support version with twin 7.62 mm miniguns was demonstrated during Operation Hard Kill in 2024, and a Warmate loitering-munition carrier appeared at MSPO 2019.

Users are the US Marine Corps (first deliveries 2023), the British Army (four Robotic Platoon Vehicles, 2020) and the Dutch 13th Light Brigade in trials since 2020. The diesel-powered Mission Master XT is the heavier sibling, while the S-MET is its American 8x8 rival.
