Defeating
improvised explosive devices (IED) is critical to clearing routes and
ensuring freedom of maneuver on the battlefield. Unmanned ground vehicles
(UGV) capable of semi-autonomous navigation in tactical environments represent
a promising technological enabler for effective route clearance. Oshkosh
Defense, a division of Oshkosh Corporation (NYSE:OSK), has developed its
TerraMax™ UGV technology to reduce troops’ exposure to threats
and enable commanders to accomplish more with fewer resources. |

| Oshkosh will feature the TerraMax UGV technology at the Association for Unmanned Vehicle Systems International (AUVSI) Unmanned Systems 2013 show Aug. 12-15 in Washington, D.C. “The
TerraMax UGV technology already has demonstrated a high level of maturity
as a means to deliver force protection and force multiplication to Warfighters
operating in logistics-convoy missions,” said John Beck, chief unmanned
systems engineer for Oshkosh Defense. “Integrating TerraMax UGV
kits with counter-IED payloads onto platforms like the Oshkosh M-ATV can
provide a safe and effective way for combat engineers to perform route-clearance
operations.” |
