CAST (Convoy Active Safety Technology) autonomously controls convoy vehicles to significantly reduce crew fatigue, eliminate rear-end collisions, enhance operator situational awareness and enable a more effective response to attack. The low-cost, kit-based system can be installed on a variety of transport vehicles, and drivers can switch over to autonomous mode at the touch of a button. The Lockheed Martin CAST system is a development program for the U.S. Army Tank Automotive Research, Development and Engineering Center and has already logged more than 12,000 miles of autonomous operation.
