Move Over Tesla: Lockheed Martin's Autonomous Driving Product Could Soon Guide Military Convoys
While tech companies and automakers race to put autonomous vehicles on U.S. highways, Lockheed Martin (NYSE: LMT) is making steady progress in its own effort to bring driverless trucks to the battlefield.
Lockheed said on Nov. 29 that its Autonomous Mobility Applique System (AMAS) has logged more than 55,000 miles in tests at two U.S. Army bases. AMAS is a suite of sensors, actuators, and controls designed to be installed on nearly any wheeled military vehicle, providing driver warning systems and autonomous driving functions designed to reduce the manpower needed to run convoys and reduce the risk of injuries and casualties from improvised explosive devices.
