About
ABD Solutions is a defense subsystem manufacturer based in Bradford on Avon, United Kingdom working in land systems & vehicles, unmanned systems, radar & sensors.
ABD Solutions is a sister company within the AB Dynamics Group that develops retrofit driving robotics and drive-by-wire systems to automate existing vehicles. Its platform-agnostic kits use removable robotic actuators to convert manned vehicles into remotely operated or supervised autonomous platforms without requiring OEM access or fleet replacement. The company also supplies AI-powered human detection systems and lidar and camera perception systems. Its defence work includes automating a Leopard II tank for WTD 91 of the German Bundeswehr as a target vehicle, and retrofitting the British Army Wolfhound Tactical Support Vehicle in partnership with NP Aerospace, which is used for protected mobility fleet management for the UK Ministry of Defence. The technology is also applied to mining, quarrying, construction and heavy industry, and draws on decades of AB Dynamics automotive testing robotics. The company operates offices in the UK, Germany, Japan and the USA.
