Arnold NextG Blogspot: Drive-by-wire in defense

In the U.S., the Department of Defense (DoD) and companies like General Dynamics and Oshkosh Defense are heavily investing in autonomous and teleoperated military vehicles, while in Europe and Asia, defense agencies are integrating new technologies to reduce troop exposure to risk.

How Automation is Transforming Defense Operations

Autonomous Troop Transport & Supply Vehicles
Oshkosh Defense (USA), Rheinmetall (Germany), and BAE Systems (UK) are developing autonomous military transport vehicles that move supplies through dangerous zones without exposing personnel to direct threats.

Teleoperated Reconnaissance & Combat Support Vehicles
Reconnaissance missions in high-risk or hostile environments increasingly rely on remotely controlled vehicles. Textron Systems (USA) and KNDS (Germany/France) are integrating Drive-by-Wire technology, allowing both light and armored vehicles to be remotely navigated in combat situations.

AI-Powered Coordination & Mission Planning

Advanced AI-driven systems enhance automated mission coordination, enemy movement detection, and support for autonomous combat vehicles. DuxAlpha by Arnold NextG (Germany) optimizes navigation and real-time decision-making for military vehicles. In the U.S., DARPA (Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency) is actively developing AI-based combat vehicle control systems.

Force Feedback: Enhanced Control for Tactical Operations

Operating remotely controlled military vehicles demands high sensitivity and real-time responsiveness. Force Feedback technology enhances:

• Precision maneuvering in challenging terrain and urban environments
• Tactical driving through resistance cues when encountering obstacles
• Reduced operator fatigue for extended missions under extreme conditions

With NX NextMotion and Force Feedback, soldiers can control unmanned vehicles with the highest level of precision and situational awareness.

U.S. & Global Defense Regulations: Why Drive-by-Wire is Essential

The U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) and NATO are accelerating the adoption of autonomous and teleoperated military vehicles to reduce troop risk and enhance operational efficiency. In Europe and Asia, defense organizations are deploying Drive-by-Wire technology to support modern battlefield strategies.

With NX NextMotion’s Drive-by-Wire technology, defense agencies can:

• Keep soldiers out of high-risk zones
• Make autonomous and teleoperated missions more precise and flexible
• Prepare modern military vehicles for next-generation warfare
