Unmanned Ground Systems Technology:
Abstract
This project leverages perception, control and tactical behavior technologies created for the Safe Operations of Unmanned systems for Reconnaissance (SOURCE) effort and matures, integrates and demonstrates advanced robotic and autonomous technologies to the tactical and combat vehicle fleets. Unmanned ground systems technologies will be employed to overcome critical Army challenges to include automated resupply and sustainment, improved tactical intelligence, and reduced physical and cognitive burden. Challenges will be met by utilizing relevant technologies such as maneuver and tactical behavior algorithms, autonomy kits, sensor and weapons integration, advanced navigation and planning, vehicle self-protection, manipulation, local situational awareness, advanced perception, vehicle and pedestrian safety, and robotic command and control. This effort is coordinated with efforts in 0602601A, project H91 and PE 0603005, projects 441 and 497. In FY13 and FY14, this effort supports Technology Enabled Capability Demonstration 1c: Force Protection - Occupant Centric Platform and 2a: Overburdened-Physical Burden.
