RTX says Army operates DeepFires launcher with autonomous, remote-driving capability in Project Convergence test

• RTX showcased a DeepFires launcher prototype that can operate autonomously or via remote driver during the U.S. Army’s PCC6 exercise.
• Army soldiers used the optionally manned launcher themselves for the first time, extending a Raytheon-led demonstration from the prior year.
• Rapid development integrated an autonomy kit into a new medium tactical vehicle, then added a Tomahawk cruise missile launcher within six months.
• Design updates reflected soldier feedback, including 360-degree infrared cameras for improved situational awareness on remotely operated platforms.
• Engineers are refining autonomy behaviors and expanding capabilities based on PCC6 performance, positioning the system for follow-on exercises.
