A crawler track includes a link and is driven in a direction of travel by a sprocket having a plurality of teeth. The link includes a pad, a first grouser, and a second grouser. The pad defines a first surface, a second surface opposite the first surface, a first end, and a second end spaced apart from the first end along the direction of travel. The pad defines at least one opening extending through the pad between the first surface and the second surface, and the opening is operable to receive a sprocket tooth. The first grouser is positioned on the first surface proximate the first end of the pad, while the second grouser is positioned on the first surface proximate the second end of the pad. The first grouser and the second grouser extend in a direction substantially perpendicular to the direction of travel of the track.

The present invention relates to an arrangement (A) of a drive wheel (DW) for an endless track (E) of a tracked vehicle (V). The drive wheel (DW) comprises a hub member (H) and a drive sprocket member (S1, S2) attached to the hub member (H). Said drive sprocket member (S1, S2) comprises a ring shaped drive sprocket (10) having a set of teeth (12) arranged around the circumference of said drive sprocket (10). Said drive sprocket (10) is configured to engage with said endless track (E). Said drive sprocket member (S1, S2) further comprises a support member (20) for said drive sprocket (10). Said drive sprocket (10) is divided into at least two arc shaped drive sprocket parts (10A, 10B). Each drive sprocket part (10A, 10B), in a non engaged state of a drive sprocket part with respect to said endless track, is configured to be exchangeable. Said arrangement (A) comprises a guiding configuration (G1, G2) comprising a first guiding member (G1) circumferentially distributed around the support member (20) and a second guiding member (G2) circumferentially distributed around the respective drive sprocket part (10A, 10B) for facilitating reassembling the drive sprocket (10). The present invention also relates to a tracked vehicle.

A technique for a modular tracked vehicle that can be reconfigured as needed to address different requirements and use cases. The modular tracked vehicle includes a chassis hull that allows interchangeable components to be connected thereto. The interchangeable components include interchangeable final drives which drive the vehicle's tracks. The chassis hull stores an energy reservoir, such as a battery or fuel tank, and the final drives include at least a gear box and drive axle. Different final drives may be provided for different torque levels, speed levels, energy sources, and or other specifications, and the final drives may be swapped based on mission requirements. Other components of the modular tracked vehicle may be interchangeable, as well. The technique may be provided, for example, as a modular tracked vehicle, a platform for a modular tracked vehicle, and/or as a method for use with a modular tracked vehicle.
