Big news at the recent Land Forces Expo in Melbourne was the unveiling of ATLAS, an uncrewed 8x8 ground combat vehicle developed by BAE Systems Australia and powered by Cummins’ ISB 6.7-litre engine rated at 185 hp.

Standing for Autonomous Tactical Light Armour System, ATLAS is designed to give military commanders an added tactical option while keeping soldiers out of harm’s way through proven autonomous technologies.

According to BAE Systems, ATLAS will operate autonomously in various combat environments, both on and off-road, complementing crewed counterparts such as infantry fighting vehicles and main battle tanks, at a lower cost.

The ATLAS drive module was developed by Supacat to BAE Systems specifications. ATLAS is easily transportable, designed to fit into a standard 20-foot ISO container or 20-foot ISO flat rack.
