US Army seeks CAML-Lite autonomous launcher prototypes for 2027 live-fire trials

The US Army is seeking complete integrated prototypes of the Common Autonomous Multi-Domain Launcher-Lite, or CAML-Lite, for live-fire demonstrations at Talisman Sabre 2027 in August. The platform is intended to combine offensive and defensive fires with optional crewing, remote operation, autonomous waypoint navigation and leader-follower convoy movement. Desired capabilities include C-130 transportability, modular interfaces and ammunition resupply with minimal human intervention, with different minimum and objective performance levels. The solicitation anticipates prototype agreements and options for additional vehicles, while further maturation toward a common CAML architecture would follow in a later phase.
