On the battlefield, a Soldier’s ability to move, shoot and communicate is critical to mission success. The Automotive Directorate conducts system level, component-level and interoperability tests on manned and unmanned ground and amphibious, combat and tactical vehicles to ensure the equipment our warfighters rely upon is safe, reliable and effective.

We collect, analyze and report independent data to identify system safety and performance to support Army modernization and transformation.

Our technicians, scientists and engineers are experts in manned and unmanned vehicles to include hybrid fuel, high voltage electric vehicles, and systems equipped with artificial intelligence.
