U.S. Army Tests Autonomous Large-Scale Mine-Laying System
The U.S. Army has successfully tested the Autonomous Volcano mine-laying system at Camp Grayling, Michigan, autonomously deploying two separate minefields without a human driver. The system integrates the decades-old M139 Volcano dispenser with an unmanned Palletized Load System truck, capable of laying up to 960 mines across approximately 32 acres. Developed jointly with the UK and integrated by defense contractor Forterra, the system represents the Army's latest effort to modernize legacy equipment using emerging technologies.
