UK Military Requirements for Robotic Land Vehicles

Abstract

This presentation describes the operational requirements and methods of achieving remote operation of Combat Engineer Equipments for use by the UK Army during periods immediately prior to combat possibly during combat and extensively in battle area clearance operations. The techniques can also be used in peace support. The paper examines the teleoperational requirements for the adaptation of existing Combat Engineer Vehicles such as the Chieftain Armoured Vehicle Royal Engineer (CH AVRE) also known as AVRE tank, and the Combat Engineer Tank (CET) and future requirements for service replacement vehicles such as Future Engineer Tank (FET) and Terrier (replacement CET). The UK sponsor for this work is the Ministry of Defence, Main Building, Whitehall, London. I would like to thank Lieutenant Colonel Philip Poole, SO1 Engineer, DDOR (Engr&NBC) for assistance in offering advice and material on User requirements. DERA Chertsey LS4 department is currently conducting applied research in support of the UK MOD programme for Combat Engineer Equipments and Robotic Land Vehicles.
