AM General, the manufacturer behind the legendary Humvee (High Mobility Multipurpose Wheeled Vehicle), has announced plans to repurpose the iconic platform's chassis as the foundation for an entirely new lineup of Uncrewed Ground Vehicles (UGVs).
The Humvee has been a mainstay of the U.S. military and armed forces around the world since its introduction, renowned for its exceptional off-road capability and battlefield durability. By building on the mature engineering heritage and combat-proven track record of the existing chassis, AM General aims to transform the platform into an autonomous ground system capable of meeting the demands of modern unmanned warfare.
Demand for UGVs has surged in recent years across military logistics, reconnaissance, and hazardous-environment operations. Leveraging the Humvee's established high-mobility architecture and rugged construction, AM General's new UGV series is positioned to carve out a competitive niche in an increasingly crowded unmanned ground vehicle market.
Detailed technical specifications and production timelines have not yet been publicly disclosed. The industry will be watching closely for further product announcements from AM General in the months ahead.
