The money will be spent on updating an existing
6.5-ton
unmanned ground vehicle, nicknamed Crusher, that uses a six-wheel drive and
advanced processing to navigate difficult terrain.
"We are delighted that NREC will play a key role in showing how advanced
autonomous vehicles work in future combat systems settings," said NREC director
John Bares.
"Our goal will be to develop, integrate and test a high-performance unmanned
ground vehicle with the most up-to-date mobility and autonomy technologies."
The NREC team will also further improve the vehicle's software to include
manoeuvring capabilities in combat and integrate the vehicle into existing
military organisations.
The US Army already uses automatic aerial drones,
anti-sniper
robots and
wireless gun
platforms in combat and wants a quarter of its transport division automated
by 2030.
