What Pratt & Miller Engineering does

Pratt Miller Engineering is an advanced vehicle engineering and product development company founded in 1989 and headquartered in New Hudson, Michigan. It operates three business lines — Motorsports, Defense, and New Mobility — delivering ground vehicle systems engineering, electrification, autonomy and robotics, connected systems, and technology integration services. The company manufactures proprietary products including the Trackless Moving Targets (TMT) live-fire training platform (12-year SBIR Phase III development, awarded a multi-year U.S. Army production contract in December 2024), the Expeditionary Modular Autonomous Vehicle (EMAV) unmanned ground vehicle, the Flexible Robotic Platform (FRP) with PM-ADS autonomy, and the Corvette Z06 GT3.R race car built for Chevrolet. It also operates a proprietary software stack of 20+ motorsports tools and a Driver-in-the-Loop (DiL) simulator (one of approximately four in North America), and runs the factory Corvette Racing by Pratt Miller Motorsports program in IMSA and WEC competition.

Revenue is generated through a mix of engineering services contracts (professional services), hardware product sales (defense and commercial robotics), and simulator rentals, all delivered via direct enterprise engagement. Customers include the U.S. Army and Department of Defense, Chevrolet/General Motors, Oshkosh Defense, Rafael Advanced Defense Systems, QinetiQ North America, GreenGT, Vanguard, and Sarcos Technology. The company is a wholly owned subsidiary of Oshkosh Corporation (NYSE: OSK), acquired in June 2020, and operates a joint venture (PMB JV) with SBA 8(a)-certified Baker Engineering to access set-aside federal contracting channels. Pratt Miller employs 251–500 people and operates a secondary DiL facility in Huntersville, North Carolina.
