Joint Robotics Program/Autonomous Systems

Abstract

This program supports the technology development activities of the Joint Ground Robotics Enterprise (JGRE) with a focus on the development of subsystems and components, and efforts to integrate subsystems and components into system prototypes for field experiments and/or tests in simulated environments. Projects deliver advanced technology with direct relevance to enhancing warfighters' capabilities that have been identified during operational assessments and field feedback of current unmanned systems. By exercising its oversight role through a Technology Advisory Board, O-6 Council and Senior Steering Group (Flag level), Joint Ground Robotics applies this program to enable coordination between the Services and places emphasis on interoperability and commonality among unmanned ground systems. The primary purpose of this program is to support efforts to overcome technology barriers in the thrust areas of unmanned ground system technologies to include Autonomous & Tactical Behaviors, Manipulation Technologies, Collaborative Operations, Interoperability, Man-portable Unmanned Ground Systems, and Technology Transition/Transformation. Development and integration of technologies within the thrust areas of unmanned ground system technologies will expedite technology transition from the laboratory to operational use. The technologies are generally at Technology Readiness Levels (TRL) of 3 or 4 with the intent to mature them through JGRE efforts to TRL 6.
