2014 Autonomous Mobility Applique System -- Capabilities Advancement Demonstration (AMAS CAD)

Published on Jan 28, 2014

The 2014 AMAS CAD was held at Boaz Military Operations and Urban Terrain Site in Fort Hood, Texas. The demonstration was a collaborative effort between the U.S. Central Command, Army Capabilities Integration Center, Combined Arms Support Command, 3rd Cavalry Regiment and the U.S. Army Tank Automotive Research, Development and Engineering Center (TARDEC).

AMAS CAD featured driverless vehicles autonomously negotiating live traffic, following the rules of the road, recognizing pedestrians and avoiding obstacles in both urban and rural road conditions.

This autonomy enabled system of the future provides our Warfighters a technological advantage on the battlefield and the flexibility to adapt to tomorrows ever-changing and evolving threats by creating greater stand-off distance from danger, making supply distribution more efficient, and decreasing the logistical burden now and for the next 30 years.

AMAS CAD II - Vehicles Only

Published on Jun 27, 2014

TARDEC and Lockheed Martin successfully conducted the second Autonomous Mobility Appliqu? System - Capabilities Advancement Demonstration at the Savannah River Site in South Carolina; this time with more vehicles and at faster speeds. The seven vehicle unmanned convoy traveled at speeds of more than 40 mph during the demonstration for a group of senior Army and industry leaders.

Autonomy-enabled future vehicles will provide warfighters a distinct technological advantage on the battlefield and the flexibility to adapt to tomorrow's ever-changing and evolving threats by creating greater stand-off distance from danger, making supply distribution more efficient and decreasing logistics burdens for the Army of 2025.

AMAS Capabilities Advanced Demonstrations (CAD)

Published on May 4, 2016

Lockheed Martin's Autonomous Mobility Applique System (AMAS) is a low-cost, low-risk autonomy kit for military logistics vehicles that provides driver warning/driver assist and leader-follower capabilities with a path to full autonomy. The CAD testing successfully demonstrated AMAS performance in both urban improved road conditions and secondary road conditions.
