Oshkosh’s TerraMax is basically unmanned ground vehicle technology – consisting of a high definition LIDAR system, a wide dynamic range camera, a short wave infrared camera, four situational awareness cameras, 12 short range radar systems and three long range radar systems – installed on a 6×6 autonomous MTVR-based tactical cargo hauler. This massive vehicle is autonomously controlled by an operator control unit (OCU).
