Soldier Sys Interfaces/Integration- Sensor Tech
Abstract
This Project investigates, designs, and validates advanced technologies and algorithms for enhancing dismounted Soldier deployed robotics and autonomous systems used to improve the Small Unit's situational awareness, survivability, and lethality. Technologies to be investigated may include: algorithms for dismounted robotic systems to enable autonomous navigation, automated object recognition, persistent surveillance, launch and recovery from vehicles, networked lethality, manned- unmanned teaming, and collaborative behaviors; and advanced user interfaces to optimize human-robotic interaction during dismounted operations. These advanced technologies will enable Squad and Platoon level autonomous reconnaissance using robotic systems to minimize the operator's dedicated control of the systems and reduce their cognitive burden, thus allowing Soldiers to be more lethal and survivable. Work in this Project supports key Army needs and leverages the technical research of several Program Elements (PEs) / Projects to include PE 0603118A (Soldier Lethality Advanced Technology) / Project BD7 (Soldier Sys Interfaces/Integration-Sensor AdvTech) and Project BC9 (Adv Soldier Sensors/Displays AdvTech for Dismounts). The cited work is consistent with the Under Secretary of Defense for Research and Engineering priority focus areas and the Army Modernization Strategy. Work in this Project is performed by the United States Army Futures Command (AFC).
