A new type of autonomous, and hybrid‑powered uncrewed ground vehicles is set to boost the battle power of the U.S. Army. For this, American Rheinmetall has been awarded an 18-month contract for the U.S. Army’s Project Sustainment effort.
American Rheinmetall will deliver next‑generation uncrewed ground vehicle (UGV) capabilities that strengthen the Army’s tactical sustainment operations and support its broader modernization objectives.
Plug-in hybrid defense vehicle
The U.S. Army has selected Harbinger’s plug-in hybrid defense vehicle as the basis for American Rheinmetall’s autonomous unmanned ground vehicle (UGVs) contract.
The vehicles will autonomously transport supplies to and from the forward line of troops, reducing risk to soldiers and increasing operational efficiency in contested environments.
