RTX's Raytheon business has successfully demonstrated its DeepStrike™ autonomous mobile launcher vehicle in a live fire test at the U.S. Army's Project Convergence. The self-driving launcher, developed through a collaboration between Raytheon, Forterra, Oshkosh Defense, and Ursa Major, operates without requiring a driver and is designed for all-weather conditions and terrains.

The demonstration featured a new Raytheon-made missile for the U.S. Army's Joint Reduced Range Rocket program, developed through rapid prototyping. The DeepStrike launcher offers increased weapons capacity compared to current systems and can accommodate various missile sizes, enhancing Army mobility and survivability. Further autonomy testing, including offensive and defensive fires in challenging environments, is planned for the next year.

RTX ha dimostrato con successo il suo veicolo DeepStrike™ lanciatori mobili autonomi in una prova di fuoco dal vivo durante il Project Convergence dell'Esercito degli Stati Uniti. Il lanciatore autonomo, sviluppato attraverso una collaborazione tra Raytheon, Forterra, Oshkosh Defense e Ursa Major, opera senza la necessità di un conducente ed è progettato per condizioni atmosferiche e terreni di ogni tipo.

La dimostrazione ha presentato un nuovo missile realizzato da Raytheon per il programma Joint Reduced Range Rocket dell'Esercito degli Stati Uniti, sviluppato tramite prototipazione rapida. Il lanciatore DeepStrike offre una maggiore capacità di armamento rispetto ai sistemi attuali e può ospitare vari formati di missili, migliorando la mobilità e la sopravvivenza dell'Esercito. Ulteriori test di autonomia, inclusi attacchi offensivi e difensivi in ambienti difficili, sono previsti per il prossimo anno.

Le lanceur DeepStrike offre une capacité d'armement accrue par rapport aux systèmes actuels et peut accueillir différentes tailles de missiles, améliorant ainsi la mobilité et la survie de l'Armée. D'autres tests d'autonomie, y compris des tirs offensifs et défensifs dans des environnements difficiles, sont prévus pour l'année prochaine.

RTX hat erfolgreich sein DeepStrike™ autonomes mobiles Abschussgerät bei einem Live-Feuer-Test im Project Convergence der US-Armee demonstriert. Der selbstfahrende Abschussvorrichtung, entwickelt in Zusammenarbeit mit Raytheon, Forterra, Oshkosh Defense und Ursa Major, funktioniert ohne einen Fahrer und ist für alle Wetterbedingungen und Geländearten ausgelegt.

Die Demonstration umfasste eine neue von Raytheon hergestellte Rakete für das Joint Reduced Range Rocket-Programm der US-Armee, die durch schnelle Prototypenentwicklung entwickelt wurde. Der DeepStrike Abschussgerät bietet eine höhere Waffenkapazität im Vergleich zu aktuellen Systemen und kann verschiedene Raketenformate aufnehmen, was die Mobilität und Überlebensfähigkeit der Armee verbessert. Weitere Autonomietests, einschließlich offensiver und defensiver Feuer in herausfordernden Umgebungen, sind für das nächste Jahr geplant.

Live fire featured DeepStrike launcher at Project Convergence

FORT IRWIN, Calif., March 25, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Raytheon, an RTX (NYSE: RTX) business, announced its DeepStrike™ autonomous mobile launcher vehicle, which does not require a driver, successfully completed a live fire demonstration at the U.S. Army's Project Convergence.

Raytheon led the effort producing the precision missile and launcher, Forterra supplied the self-driving technology, Oshkosh Defense provided the vehicle platform and electronic systems, and Ursa Major manufactured the missile's rocket motor.

"DeepStrike provides soldiers with a modern platform, autonomous capability and increased magazine depth to meet the Army's future fires requirements," said Brian Burton, vice president of Precision Fires & Maneuver at Raytheon. "At Project Convergence, Raytheon demonstrated revolutionary autonomous launcher technology: a self-driving launcher designed to operate seamlessly in all weather conditions, on all terrains, and in harsh battlefield environments."

The demonstration used a new Raytheon-made missile, developed for the U.S. Army's Joint Reduced Range Rocket program, that was created via a rapid prototyping initiative. The DeepStrike launcher increases the amount of weapons compared to what is currently fielded. The launcher can fire missiles of various sizes, while providing the Army more mobility and survivability.

Over the next year, the team will continue its autonomy testing to include both offensive and defensive fires in stressing environments.
