A Comprehensive Literature Review of Autonomous Surveillance Technologies Relating to Dismounted Soldiers

Abstract

The development of the autonomous applications for dismounted Soldier systems is paramount to defeating our adversaries, such as China and Russia, in future combat. A comprehensive literature review is necessary to assist in defining the best path forward. There is a clear need to use the latest autonomous technologies in threat identification and elimination without U.S. lives lost. In theory, networked unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) using onboard cameras may assist in successful navigation and threat identifications for ground troops. Furthermore, UAVs used as a surveillance and situational awareness tool may also be feasible to house weaponry to eliminate these threats.
