ATLAS uncrewed vehicle AI targeting

BAE Systems Australia and Canadian partner TerraSense put AI targeting for ATLAS uncrewed vehicle through demanding field trials

BAE Systems Australia and Canada’s TerraSense have field-tested the Archimedes AI-enabled target classification system on the ATLAS Collaborative Combat Variant uncrewed ground vehicle. The trial evaluated passive detection, tracking, situational awareness and unmanned-aircraft identification, while engineers remotely corrected a software problem affecting target thumbnails during the event. The demonstration shows how rapid software updates can support experimentation on robotic combat platforms throughout the exercise, but ATLAS remains a prototype and the activity did not authorize autonomous weapon use; human operators retained responsibility for engagement decisions.
