REDSTONE ARSENAL, Ala. — Imagine the possibilities of a self-driving vehicle on the battlefield.
Engineers at the U.S. Army Combat Capabilities Development Command Aviation & Missile Center, or AvMC, don’t have to imagine it, they are building it. The autonomous multidomain launcher takes a High-Mobility Artillery Rocket System — or HIMARS — and modifies it with hardware and software to be controlled remotely and driven autonomously.
