Military technical innovation is critical to defending our territories and those of our allies.  The US Army is currently exploring the insertion of leading-edge technology into their legacy fleet of vehicles to improve the situational awareness, agility, autonomy, and lethality of US Military ground-based combat operations.  By converting material, fuel and equipment transport trucks into robots, Army leadership expects to reduce the need for soldiers to be put in harm's way. Our work as a Defense Contractor is dedicated to advancing technology in ground vehicle systems and promoting the future survivability for our troops.
