PARIS, June 11, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- AM General, a leader in military vehicle manufacturing and mobile defense capabilities, will feature next generation vehicles like the Unmanned Ground Vehicle (UGV) and the JLTV A2, each integrated with advanced counter-UAS systems at Eurosatory. The exposition will take place at the Parc des Expositions de Villepinte in Paris, France, June 15 - 19, 2026, Hall 5, Booth B189 - U.S. Pavilion.
"Eurosatory provides industry and military leaders the opportunity to discuss the evolving battlefield and the ways mission success can be achieved by utilizing cutting edge technology like the AM General UGV," said John Chadbourne, AM General President and CEO. "With this platform, we've been able to demonstrate that autonomous mobile technology can be leveraged for multiple uses including logistics support, casualty evacuation, lethality missions, as well as defensive operation, which we are demonstrating with a Hornet C-UAS remote weapon station at the show."
The AM General UGV demonstrates how proven tactical vehicle platforms can be transformed into modular, mission-ready unmanned systems. Developed in collaboration with Textron Systems Corporation and Carnegie Robotics, the platform integrates a rugged AM General chassis with advanced autonomy, drive-by-wire technology, and scalable mission payloads. With an upgraded 250-horsepower engine and payload capacity of up to 6,000 pounds, the UGV is designed to support multiple mission sets, including logistics, reconnaissance, casualty evacuation, and armed overwatch. At the show, the vehicle will be equipped with the Hornet Remote Weapon Station featuring counter-UAS capabilities. This configuration highlights the platform's modularity and its ability to integrate fielded, combat-relevant systems that increase operational reach, enhance soldier protection, and provide commanders with flexible options on the modern battlefield.
Also on display will be the JLTV A2, four man variant, and featuring the Hornet Lite, which is a lightweight RWS delivering extended detection, recognition, and identification for reconnaissance. In addition to its ability to integrate defensive weaponry, the JLTV A2 is markedly improved over the A1 platform with over 1,000 changes/enhancements to the technical data package (TDP). What began as a JLTVA1 platform has transformed into a new generation vehicle with significant improvements including more efficient manufacturability, increased reliability, improved maintainability and sustainability, and greater operational capability, further solidifying the JLTV A2 as the most capable light tactical vehicle ever produced. The JLTV A2 is currently being delivered to the US Government for testing and evaluation.
