The Oshkosh TerraMax UGV technology delivers both force
protection and force multiplier capabilities to the modern
battlefield. Vehicles outfitted with the TerraMax system provide a
force protection advantage by removing operators from the vehicles
entirely, and creating a safe standoff distance from threats such
as improvised explosive device (IED) attacks. The TerraMax UGV
technology can enable a traditional tactical vehicle, such as the
M-ATV or the Family of Medium Tactical Vehicle (FMTV), into a fully
integrated autonomous vehicle system that can serve as a force
multiplier by enabling a single operator to supervise up to five
unmanned vehicles during convoy, reconnaissance and route clearance
operations.
“With TerraMax, our military customers can enable traditional
light, medium and heavy manned vehicles into UGVs to reduce
exposure to threats for troops and minimize the manpower required
for logistics operations,” said John Beck, chief unmanned systems
engineer for Oshkosh Corporation. “TerraMax UGV is a
next-generation battlefield system with an open system architecture
to easily integrate additional capabilities on to any tactical
vehicle.”
The Oshkosh TerraMax UGV technology has proven capable of being
seamlessly integrated into convoy operations during live-force
military evaluations and has been tested in virtually every manner
of tactical environment. Unlike remote-controlled or tele-operated
systems, TerraMax UGVs leverage the latest robotics technology that
enables the vehicles to perceive and navigate complex, off-road
environments entirely unmanned, with minimal operator supervision.
Oshkosh has the engineering, production, installation and support
capability to enable the military to quickly transition UGV
technology from concept to combat zone.
John Beck will be giving a presentation on the TerraMax UGV
technology and its applications at XPONENTIAL on May 2 at 2:30 pm
local time. Oshkosh Defense leadership will be available to discuss
Oshkosh TerraMax UGV technology and the company’s broad portfolio
of vehicles, technologies and services at AUVSI’s XPONENTIAL at
booth #1663.
