MOD selects autonomous ground vehicles for resupply

摘要

The MOD's Defence Science and Technology Laboratory (Dstl) is acquiring five unmanned ground vehicles (UGVs) for military resupply missions. Part of Project Theseus, which is exploring the use of autonomous vehicles for last mile battlefield logistics, the £5m purchase consists of two separate contracts and builds on Dstl's Autonomous 'Last Mile' Challenge. Three all-terrain Viking 6 × 6 wheeled UGVs will be delivered by Horiba Mira under a £2.3m deal. Arriving in summer 2020, the Vikings will each be capable of transporting 750kg of supplies to the frontlines.
