L3Harris Technologies debuted its new autonomous reconnaissance and security vehicle system, Diamondback™, at the Association of the United States Army’s annual meeting which took place in Washington D.C. this week (14-16 October 2024).

“We are expanding our platform and mission system autonomy capabilities, from air and sea, to support robotic vehicles making first contact with threats in land environments,” said Ed Zoiss, President, Space and Airborne Systems, L3Harris.

“The Diamondback prototype is easily reconfigurable, highly mobile and rapidly scalable due to its modular and open systems architecture as well as its focus on commercial components and mobility,” he added.

Diamondback’s open development approach improves the ability to ramp up production, reduces costs, increases maintainability and accelerates the speed of technology insertions that support adaptation for evolving missions.

L3Harris designed Diamondback to complement existing classes of robotic vehicles and fill roles and cost profiles associated with manned vehicles. The company is partnering with Overland AI, an autonomous ground mobility business, that is providing its off-road, cross country vehicle navigation technology for the Diamondback’s mission systems.
