BAE Systems ATLAS CCV uncrewed ground vehicle

The BAE Systems Australia autonomous tactical light armour system (ATLAS) collaborative combat variant (CCV) is an uncrewed ground vehicle (UGV) that gives military commanders an added tactical option while keeping soldiers out of harm’s way.

ATLAS CCV is a cost-effective, modular, 8 x 8 UGV that has been designed and built with autonomous technology. It incorporates existing, proven technologies to provide a capability that is mission configurable and upgradable, so that it continues to evolve to counter new and emerging technologies and threats.

The autonomy system at the core of the ATLAS CCV will ‘drive’ the vehicle, avoid obstacles, route plan, and make tactical decisions. It is designed to give soldiers the advantage on the modern battlefield.

ATLAS CCV is armed with a lightweight, automated medium-calibre turret system called ‘VANTAGE ATS’, designed for use on uncrewed platforms. The turret is designed with a ‘human in-the-loop’ targeting system.

ATLAS CCV is easily transportable, designed to fit into a standard 20-ft ISO container or 20-ft ISO flat rack. It will also deliver a logistics multiplier effect for companion crewed platforms, effectively extending the combat endurance of vehicles currently in service.
