The IDF is preparing a new technological advancement which will become operational in the coming years – driverless hummers. According to a senior IDF officer, the military has invested a significant sum into upgrading its tactical truck fleet, which is nearly 60 years old.

The autonomous Hummer is equipped with a camera that transmits visual data to the operator who can remotely drive the vehicle from a distance of up to 3 km away. This range is expected to increase over time, and the vehicle is scheduled to undergo tests in September 

Among other things, the innovative vehicle is expected to deliver supplies of ammunition, fuel and medical equipment, as well as food and water to forces in the field.
