IRVINE, California. Anduril Industries and Hanwha Defense USA have partnered up to develop an offering for the U.S. Army’s Small Multipurpose Equipment Transport (S-MET) Increment II program, Anduril announced in a statement.
Anduril will lead the partnership, delivering a modified Uncrewed Ground Vehicle (UGV) based on Hanwha’s Arion-SMET platform, which integrates Forterra's AutoDrive autonomy solution for on and off-road maneuvers, the statement reads.
The UGV, tested in the Indo-Pacific, can carry loads and generate power for dismounted infantry operations, the company says, adding that the alliance aims to equip dismounted infantry with enhanced speed, flexibility, and control, simplifying command through a user-friendly interface.
