Pentagon Seeks Industry Solutions For Tactical Robotics
The US military is gearing up for a demonstration of unmanned ground vehicles in North Dakota this fall, as part of a broader effort to add uncrewed systems to its fleets. The Joint Unmanned Ground Vehicle demonstration, dubbed GroundBreaker 1, will test industry-built robotic vehicles in realistic field conditions. The Pentagon is seeking platforms that can execute core mission areas such as reconnaissance and surveillance, transport of supplies, and explosive ordnance disposal. The demo is part of an effort to add UGV offerings to the Pentagon’s Drone Marketplace, according to DefenseScoop.
