2014 Autonomous Mobility Appliqué System – Capabilities Advancement Demonstration II (AMAS CAD II)

AMAS CAD II is a demonstration enabled by Joint Capabilities Technology Demonstration (JCTD) that will showcase innovative technology that has led to advanced operational feasibility for autonomy-enabled vehicle systems. The demonstration will include a fully unmanned convoy featuring unmanned lead vehicles that are able to negotiate traffic, follow rules of the road, recognize pedestrians and avoid obstacles as they lead the larger vehicle convoy at higher speeds. 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.
