Capability Concept Demonstrator for Interoperability within Unmanned Ground Systems and C2

Abstract

This report describes the research and experiment efforts of the NATO STO RTG IST-149 Capability Concept Demonstrator for Interoperability within Unmanned Ground Systems and C2. Unmanned Ground Vehicles (UGVs) are becoming increasingly relevant in the modern battle-space. These systems can carry massive sensor suites, delivering unprecedented streams of data right from the front line. On the other hand, these systems still require tele-operation in most cases. It is very important to realize that the ISR data will remain largely useless if there is no proper way to exchange the information between the coalition partners and/or pipe it into C2 systems. The main purpose of the group was to find ways to improve this situation, and more specifically to investigate possible standards for controlling UGVs from Operator Control Units (OCUs) and receiving data back, and testing them in a real world scenario.
