AM General's Future-Driven Military Solutions at Eurosatory 2026
At Eurosatory 2026, AM General, a prominent player in military vehicle manufacturing, will highlight its forward-looking capabilities. The event, held from June 15 to 19 at the Parc des Expositions de Villepinte in Paris, will feature innovative vehicles including the next-generation Unmanned Ground Vehicle (UGV) and the JLTV A2, both equipped with advanced anti-drone systems.
Showcasing the Unmanned Ground Vehicle (UGV)
The AM General UGV represents a significant advancement in autonomous vehicle technology designed for military operational needs. This adaptable vehicle boasts enhanced survivability and operational dominance. With a powerful 250-horsepower engine and a payload capacity of up to 6,000 pounds, the UGV is poised to support a variety of missions, from logistics and reconnaissance to combat and evacuation operations.
One of the standout features of this UGV is its remoted-controlled weapon station, the Hornet C-UAS, specifically developed for drone defense. AM General emphasizes how proven tactical vehicle platforms can be transformed into modular, mission-ready unmanned systems. This offers military commanders expanded options that enhance soldier safety while optimizing mission effectiveness.
John Chadbourne, President and CEO of AM General, stated, “Eurosatory offers leading representatives from industry and military an opportunity to discuss the evolving battlefield and how modern technologies, like AM General's UGV, can ensure operational success.” The UGV's capability to function in diverse roles makes it an invaluable asset in modern warfare.
The JLTV A2: Advancements in Tactical Mobility
In addition to the UGV, the JLTV A2 will be prominently featured in its four-man variant. This updated platform includes the Hornet Lite, a lightweight remote weapon system enhancing reconnaissance functions with advanced detection, tracking, and identification capabilities. Compared to its predecessor, the A1, the JLTV A2 boasts over 1,000 changes and optimizations in its technical data package, making it one of the most reliable and efficient light tactical vehicles available.
The JLTV A2's improvements lead to enhanced manufacturability, reliability, maintainability, and sustainability, affirming its status as the most capable light tactical vehicle ever made. Currently, the JLTV A2 is being delivered to the US government for testing and evaluation, further reiterating AM General's commitment to excellence.
