Maneuver
Abstract
This activity investigates new ways and means to land forces and material through contested sea-land surface interfaces and then conduct maneuver warfare. In order to enable future Amphibious Operations, research efforts will support autonomous operations across the sea-surf-ground environment, improved fuel efficiency and speed of amphibious vehicles, amphibious vehicle technologies, water performance, and amphibious payloads to change the dynamics of a surface amphibious assault. This includes the emergence of manned-unmanned teaming and autonomous vehicle collaboration. The technologies included in this work address areas of mobility, materials, propulsion, signature reduction, modularity, and unmanned systems. This also encompasses navigating the surf zone by a small autonomous vehicle, navigating negative obstacles on land at speed, overcoming adversarial intent, and developing low-cost robotic autonomy kits to support of expeditionary amphibious operations (e.g., ISR, mine-counter-measures, breaching, fire support, and logistics).
