The U.S. military is committed to moving faster to get high technology into the field, according to several speakers at the opening day of AUVSI Unmanned Systems Defense. Protection. Security in Maryland.
“We need new unmanned systems, fast,” said Lt. Gen. Robert Walsh, commanding general, Marine Corps Combat Development Command.
The USMC is going back to its early days of being a highly experimental command, Walsh said, resurrecting its Sea Dragon series of exercises and putting a variety of off-the-shelf systems into demonstrations to see how they fare.

Connecting Cars, Connecting Users: Challenges and Opportunities Offered by Automated Vehicles
Recently a range of diverse companies have launched high-profile automated vehicle programs and have begun describing their implementation plans. As automated vehicles gain traction and garner headlines, complex questions have arisen in the automated vehicles community, some of which were expected and others more surprising.
Innovators are exploring seemingly next-gen possibilities today. Ideas such as driverless delivery, smart roads, and AI are becoming actualities. This webinar will explore these topics and more, as industry leaders discuss their visions for future mobility and what it holds for road users.

Lockheed Martin's Autonomous Mobility Applique System logs more than 55,000 testing miles
Lockheed Martin has announced that during the U.S. Army Extended Warfighter Experiment (EWE) at Fort Leonard Wood, Missouri, and Fort Bliss, Texas, its Autonomous Mobility Applique System (AMAS)—which is an “applique kit” that is made up of sensors, actuators and controls— logged more than 55,000 testing miles.
Testing of the AMAS system, which can be installed on just about any military tactical wheeled vehicle, included using Palletized Loading System vehicle convoys where a soldier drove the lead vehicle, while the following vehicles (three to four) followed robotically.
