Autonomous Ground Resupply Tech
Abstract
This Project will design and develop modeling and simulation tools and advanced software behaviors to inform future ground supply distribution system requirements across multiple levels of strategic and tactical sustainment operations. The modeling and simulation software tools will be incorporated into a suite of products designed to support every phase of Autonomous Ground Resupply (AGR) and used to develop and refine AGR concepts, test vehicle designs, evaluate design changes, determine technology performance, and predict outcomes in a wide variety of terrain, weather, and environmental conditions. The effort will utilize the modeling and simulation software tools to design, develop and mature software; and conduct experiments to increase future autonomy capabilities. Increased capabilities will transition to PE 0603462A (Next Generation Combat Vehicle Advanced Technology) to be integrated into a Soldier evaluation to obtain user feedback and inform and transition to the Leader/Follower Program of Record. The architecture and safety work under this Project also lays the groundwork for Army Modernization Priority Next Generation Combat Vehicle (NGCV). 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 supports the NGCV Army Modernization Priority. Work in this Project is conducted by the United States (US) Army Engineer Research and Development Center and coordinated with US Army Futures Command. This work is done in coordination with PE 0603462A (Next Generation Combat Vehicle Advanced Technology) and the Leader/Follower Program of Record.
