BAE Systems Australia has unveiled in Melbourne a new unmanned ground vehicle ATLAS CCV (short for "autonomous tactical light armored system for joint combat").

ATLAS CCV was created in collaboration with a number of partners, including Supacat from Britain, Valhalla Turrets from Slovenia and Marand from Australia. It is an 8x8 modular vehicle that combines autonomous technologies with existing armored vehicle systems.

ATLAS CCV is designed to operate autonomously in various combat conditions, both on and off the road, and to support manned vehicles such as IFVs and MBTs. Allegedly, the platform uses proven technologies, which made it possible to create an inexpensive product. The autonomous system controls the movement of the car, allowing it to avoid obstacles, plan routes and make tactical decisions.

It can operate in several modes, including remote control, follow me mode with obstacle avoidance, waypoint navigation and mission planning based on set goals.

The developer explained that the ATLAS CCV is designed to perform "routine, dirty and dangerous" tasks in combat conditions, for example, to protect flanks, identify targets, conduct combat, reconnaissance and direct fire support.

The vehicle can carry several tons of payload in its protected hull, including ammunition, fuel, rations, water, and critical equipment to support the manned platforms it accompanies.

Depending on the role that the car will play on the battlefield, various booking options are possible.

The machine is equipped with an automated VANTAGE turret, designed specifically for unmanned systems. It is armed with a 25 mm M242 Bushmaster cannon with a firing range of up to 2500 m, a dual ammunition supply system, 260 rounds of ammunition and is equipped with a human-in-the-loop guidance system ("man in a loop"), which allows for controlled interaction in combat situations. The turret is mounted in a tower with a low profile to reduce the likelihood of a hit.

The ATLAS CCV is designed to fit into a standard 20-foot ISO container or a Flat Rack container platform, which allows the vehicle to be transported by aircraft or marine amphibious vehicles.

The modular configuration provides the ability to perform various combat missions, including countering drones and fire support using a 120 mm automated mortar system.

It is equipped with a 360-degree multispectral automatic target detection, tracking and classification system, which includes daytime cameras, IR surveillance devices, acoustic sensors, passive electronic warfare, stereo vision and LIDAR.

The chassis of the HMT armored car from Supacat served as the base for the platform. The ATLAS CCV is equipped with a 6-cylinder 6.7-liter Cummins ISB diesel engine and an Allison 3000 automatic transmission.
