SMSS autonomous vehicle set to drop on Afghanistan

SMSS autonomous vehicle set to drop on Afghanistan

Lockheed Martin, a defense contractor with the US Army, was the winner in the Project Workhorse Unmanned Ground Vehicle (UGV) competition, and hence they will add more credence to their victory by sending a quartet of Lockheed Martin Squad Mission Support System (SMSS) vehicles straight to Afghanistan as part of a three-month Military Utility Assessment (MUA). The SMSS is not small by any means – no sir, it measures 11-feet long (3.3 meters) and is capable of carrying over half-a-ton of a squad's equipment even when traversing through rugged terrain.
