The Army’s Project Origin robots have already changed the battlefield in exercises, but the office running the program says they’re just getting started.
By Andrew Eversden“It’s this idea of collaborative sensing,” said Col. Andre’ Abadie, referring to one autonomous system talking to another to, say, confirm enemy positions or equipment.
By Andrew EversdenTwo robot vehicles provided route reconnaissance, blocked an intersection and denied a helicopter landing zone during the JRTC rotation — all critical but potentially deadly tasks for soldiers.
By Andrew EversdenThe program, which was rebaselined during Low Rate Initial Production, is now meeting monthly production goals, Jim Schimer, deputy PEO for ground combat systems, told us. But a “gap remains” between what BAE was contracted to supply and what they are supplying.
By Colin ClarkArmy Chief of Staff said modernization efforts are “already paying off.”
By Andrew EversdenArtificial intelligence, machine learning, and edge computing are key enablers for distributed, multi-domain operations.

“Modular open systems architecture… is the foundation of all our future modernization,” said Brig. Gen. Glenn Dean. The Bradley replacement, OMFV, will be the test case.
By Sydney J. Freedberg Jr.Industry is excited about the Optionally Manned Fighting Vehicle. Congress and the Biden Administration are a harder sell.
By Sydney J. Freedberg Jr.“We realize that we may be considered an underdog,” says the company, which has never built a vehicle before, “but that is not going to stop us” — and the Army has explicitly sought out small businesses with big ideas.
By Sydney J. Freedberg Jr.The Korean company is partnering with US-based Oshkosh. That means at least five teams are now competing to replace the M2 Bradley, a far stronger response than the Army’s first attempt in 2019.
By Sydney J. Freedberg Jr.General Dynamics is offering the Army a design approach — not a specific vehicle — that rigorously examines a wide array of options. The common factors: advanced electronics, open architecture and artificial intelligence.
By Sydney J. Freedberg Jr.BAE’s press release features a shadowy silhouette of a previously unseen vehicle. Could this be BAE’s proposal for the Optionally Manned Fighting Vehicle?
By Sydney J. Freedberg Jr.L3Harris joins Textron and Raytheon on Rheinmetall’s team to refine the heavily armored, high-tech Lynx for the Army’s Optionally Manned Fighting vehicle competition.
