Leader Follower (LF) - PdM Applique & Large Unmanned Ground Systems (ALUGS)

Abstract

Leader Follower (LF) Program in PdM ALUGS builds upon the Tank Automotive Research Development & Engineering Center (TARDEC) Leader Follower Excursion to provide a limited autonomous vehicle capability to the Palletized Load System (PLS) A1. Current PdM efforts will lay the groundwork for future Program of Record capability, expanding the TARDEC efforts to include up to seven (7) unmanned Follower vehicles. Funding will Recap ten (10) PLS trucks for testing purposes while the applique kits are procured through the TARDEC effort. Other efforts include Capabilities Document input, close monitoring of Excursion activities that feed cost estimates, capturing technical data, test data, test support, developing Modeling and Simulation (M&S) use cases and development of a Software Integration Lab (SIL).
