What It Is

The Grizzly, Scaled to Hauler Mass.

Moose CS-220 is the ground family's freighter: the anchor's chassis logic stretched to a 1,600 kg-class hauler with a reinforced, tie-down-railed freight deck and a 600 kg payload allocation — four times the Grizzly's load, over the same bad ground.

Structurally it is a bridge that drives: a long, stiff welded-steel bed carried between two track runs, engineered around point loads it does not control — a pallet on two skids, a sloshing bladder, an off-center crate. Empty, it floats like a Grizzly; loaded, it rides the top of the light-muskeg class, and we publish both numbers because both are true.

It shares the family's spine deliberately: the same freight-deck standard, the same operator console, the same safety chain and the same three no-radio guidance tiers as the Grizzly — one ground-family C2 investment, not two. And it carries the same heritage: three decades of the group's heavy mobile-rig engineering, and the tracked-chassis line the family anchor descends from.

The Claim

Bigger bodies haul cheaper per tonne.

The same physics that gives the fleet its salvo math gives the ground line its freight math: rolling resistance scales with gross mass while payload fraction rises and hotel load stays flat. At its working point the Moose moves a tonne of freight for roughly 27% less energy than the Grizzly — and both sides of the trade are stated wherever it is sold.

Deck standard shared with Grizzly — one ground-family C2 investment, not two.
Empty and loaded, both published — floats like a Grizzly empty, rides the muskeg limit loaded.
No radio, no GPS — the doctrine rules the link out in every guidance tier.

01 How It Works · The Freight Deck

ONE DECK STANDARD — THE MODULE IS THE ONLY THING THAT CHANGES

The Moose's deck is the ground family's freight standard: reinforced plate, tie-down rails, one blind-mate power-and-data connector and a drain-and-seal provision — the same interface grammar as the Grizzly, scaled to freight mass.

Six non-kinetic deck modules ride it: bulk cargo, pallet and container, fluid bladder, casualty evacuation, fibre trunk-layer — the unit that lays the fleet's no-radio trunk line — and launcher-and-magazine carriage, which is carriage only, always. Because the deck is defined once as a controlled family interface, a new module is a tooling change, not a vehicle redesign — and Grizzly-family modules are designed to interchange.

Under it, one electric drive per track run delivers torque from zero, and the safety chain runs the physics at freight mass: protective-stop distances computed at gross — not empty — weight, and the family loss-of-link rule held absolutely: stop, hold, wait.

04Payload & Effect

Launcher-and-magazine module: Carriage only, always — the launcher safety case stays with CS-110
Deployment: Surface always — self-deploy, road, rail, sling

05Materials & Construction

Bodywork: Moulded GF-nylon, cut on the division's own tooling
Shared lineage: Freight-deck standard, operator console and safety chain shared with Grizzly CS-210

06Signature & Power

Design environment: Muskeg · snow · freeze–thaw · cargo icing · to −40 °C
Emissions: No radio, no GPS in any guidance tier — the doctrine rules the link out

07Compliance

Patent status: Patent pending
Export control: Export-controlled — international transfer subject to Canadian government permits; export posture is counsel-first
Munitions classification: Freight carrier — never a strike platform; every deck module is non-kinetic

The deep-winter muskeg case shortens the delivery radius sharply and we say so; a range figure without its ground class and season is not one of ours.

In the Doctrine

The Trunk Line Rides
On the Freighter's Back.

A no-radio fleet still has to move its nervous system — and the Moose is how it moves in bulk. The fibre trunk-layer module lays the optical line the whole ground family talks over, and the freight deck carries multi-line picket kits for long perimeters.

The freighter also proves the family's economics: a long, plain welded bed, moulded GF-nylon bodywork on the division's own tooling — by surface area the largest recycled- content carrier in the estate — and one deck standard shared down the roster. Sovereign manufacturing at freight scale, with the family rule intact: every deck module is a carrier payload; none is, or can become, a weapon. The Moose is never a strike platform.

Family Context

The scout runs ahead. The freighter follows with the load.

In the family's working pattern the Lynx picks the route, the Grizzly proves it, and the Moose brings the tonnage — with the caveat printed beside it: the follower is heavier than the leader that proved the ground, so route discipline is doctrine, not decoration.

Deployment

A Bulk Delivery Leg, Walked Through.

One resupply leg, walked end to end — illustrative of how the Moose is used, not a mission record.

01 · Arrival

By Surface, Always

The Moose arrives by road, rail or sling, or self-deploys on its own tracks — the freighter is a surface machine by design and by arithmetic. At the depot the deck takes its load: strapped bulk, a pallet in the fork pockets, or a baffled fluid bladder, each latched to the same rails and connector.

02 · Work

The Surveyed Leg, Loaded

It runs the proven route at a steady cruise — waypoints camp-to-camp, or a human on the fibre where the ground gets ambiguous. Loaded, it rides the muskeg limit; the route the scout and the mule proved is the route it keeps. Uncertain ground: stop, hold, wait.

03 · Recover

Unload, Recharge, Turn Around

At the far end the deck empties and takes the backhaul — empties, spent packs, the return freight no one wants to carry. Home again: charge or exchange the pack, swap the module, respool the trunk line. The freighter's day is a loop, and the loop is the product.
