Autonomous vehicles deliver command-controlled robotic lethality

Developed under the DARPA RACER program, four autonomous unmanned ground vehicles idled as technicians made final tweaks to cables and software.

“Out here at Fort Knox, we’re looking at how autonomous mobility technology can be paired with payloads to enable new warfighter capabilities.”

“We’ve completed about a five-year program on software development for autonomous mobility to go highspeed off-road in complex environments,” said Gregory.

Fort Knox was chosen for the end-to-end test after a request came from U.S. European Command.

When working with our stakeholders and touchpoints, they had recommended Fort Knox specifically as a representation of the European theater.”
