Sandhills Project: 20th Engineer Brigade and industry partners test autonomous breaching capabilities
XVIII Airborne Corps Public Affairs
Jan. 10, 2024 | 1:39
Sgt. Austin Casey, assigned to 264th Engineer Clearance Company, 20th Engineer Brigade, talks about the Sandhills Project and the future of autonomous breaching on Fort Liberty, N.C., Dec. 7, 2023. The Sandhills Project is an experiment to deliver robotic, autonomized breaching solutions to large-scale combat operations.
Current conflicts indicate that US forces may encounter extensive obstacle efforts several kilometers in depth on future battlefields. Future breaching requires greater speed and flexibility to rapidly maneuver through obstacles, leveraging lower cost equipment, able to mass in large quantities.
Equipment used to breach the obstacle belts included the Small Multipurpose Equipment Transport (S-MET), the Expeditionary Modular Autonomous Vehicle (EMAV), R80D SkyRaider Unmanned Aerial System (UAS) and tele-operated construction equipment (dozer and skid-steer).
