The company will feature its Unmanned Ground Vehicle and the JLTV A2. Both vehicles will be shown with systems intended to support defensive operations against unmanned aerial threats.
“Eurosatory provides industry and military leaders the opportunity to discuss the evolving battlefield and the ways mission success can be achieved by utilizing cutting edge technology like the AM General UGV,” said John Chadbourne, AM General President and CEO. “With this platform, we’ve been able to demonstrate that autonomous mobile technology can be leveraged for multiple uses including logistics support, casualty evacuation, lethality missions, as well as defensive operation, which we are demonstrating with a Hornet C-UAS remote weapon station at the show.”
The AM General UGV demonstrates how proven tactical vehicle platforms can be developed into modular, mission-ready unmanned systems. The platform was developed with Textron Systems Corporation and Carnegie Robotics.
The vehicle integrates a rugged AM General chassis with advanced autonomy, drive-by-wire technology and scalable mission payloads. It has an upgraded 250-horsepower engine and a payload capacity of up to 6,000 pounds.
AM General said the UGV is designed to support logistics, reconnaissance, casualty evacuation and armed overwatch missions. At Eurosatory, it will be equipped with the Hornet Remote Weapon Station with counter-UAS capabilities.
The company said the configuration highlights the platform’s modularity. It also shows the UGV’s ability to integrate fielded, combat-relevant systems that increase operational reach, improve soldier protection and give commanders flexible options on the modern battlefield.
AM General will also display the four-person variant of the JLTV A2. The vehicle will feature Hornet Lite, a lightweight remote weapon station designed to provide extended detection, recognition and identification for reconnaissance.
The company said the JLTV A2 can integrate defensive weaponry. It also said the vehicle has been substantially improved over the A1 platform, with more than 1,000 changes and enhancements to the technical data package.
AM General said the vehicle has evolved from the JLTV A1 platform into a new-generation vehicle. The company cited improvements in manufacturability, reliability, maintainability, sustainability and operational capability.
The company described the JLTV A2 as the most capable light tactical vehicle ever produced. The JLTV A2 is currently being delivered to the U.S. Government for testing and evaluation.
