Leader/Follower
Abstract
The Leader Follower (LF) automated capability, through Manned Unmanned Teaming, provides convoy commanders the option to run either manned or unmanned vehicles. Unmanned LF operation allows Tactical Wheeled Vehicle (TWV) convoys to be led by a manned lead vehicle and followed autonomously by four LF equipped TWVs as the first increment, with continued development towards a fully-autonomous capability. This LF capability reduces Soldier exposure to hostile effects by four drivers when the commander chooses the unmanned option. Additionally, LF enables delivery to be more Soldier efficient, allowing at least as many ton-miles or more to be delivered per transportation unit as current capabilities, with less Soldier exposure to hostile effects.
