An AMPV equipped with the Moog Modular Weapon System engaged and disabled a small squadron of quadcopters at Big Sandy Proving Ground in Kingman, Arizona. The vehicle’s sensors and targeting systems allow it to detect, track and identify both stationary and moving targets, and its 30mm cannon neutralizes drones.
New Atlas writes that this test demonstrated the AMPV’s “ability to adapt to changing threats and provide the U.S. Army with a versatile and effective counter-UAV platform.” AMPV’s modular design allows for rapid integration of new technologies.
AMPV is expected to play a key role in the future of the U.S. Army, providing an adaptable platform to perform a wide variety of missions.
