Diamondback™

Diamondback - Autonomous Reconnaissance and Security in field

Diamondback is an innovative, economically comparable alternative to manned vehicle-based systems. Additionally, it serves to complement a mixed fleet of autonomous vehicles, all of which can be controlled using, a multi-domain command and control architecture for collaborative autonomy at scale. 

The vehicle’s mobility, autonomy stack and mission-specific modular payload suites allow first contact to happen anywhere, reducing risk to force. This innovation, developed through a partnership between L3Harris and Carnegie Robotics, comes at a time when traditional reconnaissance and security are being challenged by the proliferation of threat systems and challenges to force structures. 

Diamondback is poised to redefine tactical reconnaissance, offering a smart, scalable and cost-effective solution that keeps forces safe while also providing a tactical advantage.
