VIPR-GS Annual Review highlights advances, working prototypes out of $58M centerLast week, Clemson researchers realized a crucial milestone for the University’s $58M landmark virtual prototyping research center with a two-day technology review for the United States Army DEVCOM Ground Vehicle Systems Center (GVSC). Announced in 2020 and expanded in 2022, Clemson’s partnership with GVSC created the Virtual Prototyping of autonomy-enabled Grounds Systems (VIPR-GS) Center to develop innovative digital engineering tools for rapid exploration and design of the next generation of on- and off-road vehicles. These tools aim to support of GVSC’s ambitious goals for rapid modernization of U.S. Army fleets. The review took place at the Clemson University International Center for Automotive Research (CU-ICAR) campus in Greenville, South Carolina. The work Dr. Filipi and the Clemson VIPR-GS team are doing contribute directly to developing those tools and technology roadmaps for adoption of autonomy and advanced vehicle propulsion.
