Modeling and Simulation for MUMT Technology
Abstract
This Project develops Modeling and Simulation (M&S) tools and technologies to assess and improve freedom of movement for ground forces and supports vehicle developers by addressing challenges for robotic and ground vehicles. Through investigation and design, this project develops obstacle detection and classification algorithms for dynamic mobility hazards in urban and complex environments. This project develops tools to evaluate system performance reducing the need for physical testing including: real-time mobility decision support tools, vehicle-terrain interactive models for autonomous convoy operations, simulation tools for vehicle mobility in highly altered terrain, and M&S tools for predicting the performance of autonomous vehicles in a wide variety of weather and terrain conditions. These M&S technologies can be integrated across Army vehicle platforms as required. Work in this Project complements Program Element (PE) 0603462A (Next Generation Combat Vehicle Advanced Technology) / Project BG3 (Modeling and Simulation for MUMT Advanced Tech). The work cited is consistent with the Under Secretary of Defense for Research and Engineering priority focus areas. Work in this Project is performed by the Geotechnical and Structures Laboratory.
