Applying Unmanned Ground Vehicle Technologies To Unmanned Surface Vehicles

Abstract

Development of unmanned ground vehicles (UGVs) has been ongoing for decades. Much of the technology developed for UGVs can be applied directly to unmanned surface vehicles with little or no modification. SPAWAR Systems Center San Diego (SSC San Diego) has successfully demonstrated this by transitioning technology (both hardware and software) from a man-portable UGV, SSC San Diego was able to develop a working USV much more quickly than would have been otherwise possible.
