BAE Systems Australia Completes ATLAS CCV Autonomy Trials in Victoria
BAE Systems Australia has conducted autonomy trials for its ATLAS Collaborative Combat Variant (CCV) vehicle in Victoria, focusing on various levels of autonomy. The trials included teleoperation, waypoint navigation, and full 'sense and avoid' capabilities. Achievements include go-to-point navigation with 'sense and avoid', and the vehicle can be developed into a combat-ready prototype within two years if funded. The ATLAS CCV supports one-to-four autonomy, allowing one operator to control up to four vehicles.

BAE Systems Australia has completed autonomy trials for its 8×8 ATLAS Collaborative Combat Variant (CCV) vehicle in Victoria in late November 2025. The trials tested various autonomy levels, including teleoperation and full 'sense and avoid' navigation.
The highest autonomy level achieved was waypoint navigation. The ATLAS CCV, described as a fully functional prototype, can be developed into a combat-ready system within two years with appropriate funding.
It features enhanced one-to-four autonomy software, allowing one operator to control multiple vehicles. BAE Systems Australia had previously supplied 20 M113AS4 Modular Robotic Vehicles to the Australian Army for its Optionally Crewed Combat Vehicle programme.
