Joint Collaborative Technology Experiment (JCTE)

Abstract

This report will provide historical background, summarize year one results for the JCTE project, and outline a path forward for follow-on work. JCTE is a proof of principle effort funded by the Joint Ground Robotics Enterprise (JGRE). Year one focused on integration of systems from the partner organizations, development of unmanned systems collaborative behaviors, a number of integration/test sessions, simulation of multi-vehicle collaboration, and concluded in October 2008 with a technical capabilities demonstration. Year two JCTE efforts focused on hardware and software refinements to increase reliability, robustness, and user friendliness, and additional collaborative behaviors to further enhance capabilities and reduce workload. The experiment demonstrated the possibilities of ground and air marsupial unmanned systems deployed from a UGV to conduct route clearance IED defeat operations.
