A unit of Oshkosh Corp. said Monday it signed a research and development
deal with the US Army for refining the technology that enables un-manned
ground vehicles to operate in a convoy.
The three-year collaboration between Oshkosh Defense and the U.S. Army's
Tank and Automotive Research, Development and Engineering Center will
focus on upgrading Oshkosh's unmanned TerraMax vehicle.
The objective is to create a lead (unmanned) vehicle that can navigate
and operate in missions, while communicating route information to another
unmanned follower vehicle," Oshkosh said in a news release.
"The vehicles must be able to operate near-autonomous in a safe manner
among people, animals, vehicles and other obstacles at operational speeds
and in tactical environments."
