The Viking 6×6 multirole UGV was used in the AUKUS TORVICE trial, held in Australia in 2023. The vehicle can carry payloads weighing up to 750 kg and is suitable for a range of missions including last-mile logistics, surveillance, combat, and improvised explosive device detection.

Australia hosted a robotics and autonomous systems trial under the AUKUS Pillar 2 initiative to evaluate the technologies' resilience and performance in contested environments, the UK's Defence Science and Technology Laboratory (Dstl) announced on 5 February.

The trial – Trusted Operation of Robotic Vehicles in Contested Environments (TORVICE) – was held between4 September and 5 October 2023 at the Cultana Training Area in South Australia and involved placing autonomous assets provided by the UK and the US under challenging, contested electromagnetic environments generated by Australia, a Dstl spokesperson informed Janes.

Two UK IDV Robotics Viking unmanned ground vehicles were involved in TORVICE along with a Jeepand two Ford Raptors provided by the US that were “equipped with a US Army-developed autonomy system”, the spokesperson said.
