This unmanned ground vehicle is very similar to a light tank armed with a turret-mounted 30 mm gun and a 7.62 mm coaxial machine gun. The vehicle is fitted with a 300-horsepower Caterpillar Corporation diesel engine.

In January 2006, Carnegie Mellon''s National Robotics Engineering Center (NREC) received a contract from BAE Systems to design and add the sensors, hardware and computing elements for full autonomous navigation capability. In the late summer of 2006, the ARI) autonomy system was successfully tested during a week-long field trial in Somerset, PA…"
