GREENVILLE â Clemson University announced Tuesday that its automotive engineering department will team up with the U.S. Army to develop models for self-driving armored vehicles.
The U.S. Department of Defense is funding a new $18 million program dubbed The Virtual Prototyping of Ground Systems Center (VIPR-GS), a media release said. Its work will take place at Clemson s International Center for Automotive Research (ICAR) in Greenville.
It is the largest competitive research grant the university has announced so far this year and larger than any single research award in the 2019-2020 school year, according to data presented to Clemson trustees at a Sept. 1 research and economic development meeting.
