Autonomous Vehicles and the Net-Centric Battlespace

Abstract

Autonomous vehicles are playing increasing roles in the air/land/sea network of today's battlespace. As the Navy's lead laboratory for command, control, communications, ocean surveillance, and the integration of multiple-platform systems, Space and Naval warfare Systems Center San Diego has a unique perspective on the development and utilization of vehicles for these applications. A variety of autonomous systems and their roles will be discussed including remote sensor platforms, communication relays, and work platforms. As these capabilities are developed autonomous vehicles will become an integral component of the C4ISR (command, control, communications, computers, intelligence surveillance, reconnaissance) network.
