URC improves Soldier situational awareness while reducing cognitive load on Soldiers and the robotics portfolio logistics footprint
Abstract
The Universal Robotics Control (URC) information system improves situational awareness, multi-domain maneuvers, and deployment of lethal and nonlethal effects utilizing the entire Robotics and Autonomous Systems (RAS) portfolio. FY22 Provided continuity to Prototype and Data Analysis Framework which further shaped the acquisition strategy. The Universal Robotics Control (URC) demonstrates the capability to coordinate multiple operators and concurrently control multiple Robotics and Autonomous Systems (RAS) that operate on a heterogenous network using a unified information system. The controlled RAS may be mobile or stationary and may include modular mission payloads on controlled and non-controlled platforms. URC will be capable of dynamic initialization, configuration, and handoff of the RAS elements and network, reducing the burden to and number of operators required for control. The URC is executing in coordination with a multi-domain hardware controller acquisition strategy to ensure that the physical units meet all requirements for the RAS concept of operations, whether mounted or dismounted, and support a variety of human-machine interface (HMI) modalities to ensure that unit and soldier requirements for readiness, persistence, and resilience are met and maximize the soldier?s ability to fight.
