Kratos OpenSpace: Revolutionizing Business Continuity with Leader Follower Platooning

The Innovation of Leader Follower Platooning

Kratos has introduced a groundbreaking solution with the Leader Follower Platooning system, designed to revolutionize business continuity in critical industries. This cutting-edge technology ensures that fleets can maintain their operations seamlessly, even in the face of driver shortages or increased production demands.

How It Works

The Leader Follower Platooning system comprises a human-driven Leader truck that transmits navigation data to a driverless Follower truck. By retrofitting existing fleets with Automated Driving Systems (ADS) components, including computer systems, navigation tools, Vehicle-To-Vehicle (V2V) communication, and sensor systems, Kratos offers an innovative solution that is tractor and trailer agnostic. This approach proves cost-effective compared to investing in entirely new robotic vehicles. With human drivers overseeing the platoon, the system can effectively address complex scenarios on the road.

Key Advantages of the System

Kratos' Leader Follower Platooning system presents numerous benefits to organizations looking to enhance their operations. With a focus on safety, the system mitigates risks associated with driver fatigue, distractions, and slow reaction times. Moreover, it enables businesses to maintain their supply chain activity despite driver shortages, showcasing deployment flexibility without requiring infrastructure modifications. One of the key advantages is the system's ability to preserve existing driver jobs while increasing safety, efficiency, and overall productivity.

Enhancing Business Continuity Across Critical Industries

Kratos' self-driving truck solutions have been instrumental in benefitting sectors like Agriculture and Renewable Energy by strengthening supply chain activities and ensuring business continuity. By addressing the impact of driver shortages, particularly in rural areas, the Leader Follower Platooning system offers an effective solution. It not only maintains the existing pool of drivers but also enhances haul capacity and provides a backup plan for situations where qualified drivers are unavailable. The deployment of Kratos' self-driving truck technology addresses current workforce challenges and safety concerns within the Transportation and Supply Chain sectors.
