Robotics Architecture
Abstract
Robotic Architecture (RA) provides the engineering and development resources to manage the overarching architecture for robotic systems that are both modular and interoperable across the Joint Force in order to facilitate future modernization efforts. It will manage the interoperability standards, modular payload interfaces, common software and common architecture for robotics & autonomous platforms, payloads & universal controllers. It will establish a Common Specifications Reference (CSR) to provide a repository codifying the Army Robotic Autonomous Systems (RAS) standards for open architecture, interoperability interfaces, and common control. RA includes the construction of program specific Interoperability Profiles (IOP) (i.e. Small Multipurpose Equipment Transport (S-MET), Tactical Wheeled Vehicle-Leader Follower (TWV-LF), Route Clearance Interrogation System (RCIS), Common Robotics System (Medium) (CRS(M), Common Robotics System (Individual), (CRS(I)), Man Transportable Robotic System (MTRS) Inc. II, Common Robotics System (Heavy) (CRS(H)), Enhanced Robotic Payloads (ERP), Light Reconnaissance Robot (LRR), Optionally Manned Fighting Vehicle (OMFV), Robotic Combat (RCV) variants, robotic assault breacher vehicles, robotic applique kits for manned ground systems, etc.), and new standards addressing emerging requirements and Modular Mission Payloads (MMP) including Cyber Security, software safety requirements from MIL-STD-882E, new autonomous behaviors & artificial intelligence, new payloads, lethality, etc. FY 2022 RDTE funds in the amount of $2.346 million supports the initial development of the Robotics and Autonomous Systems, Ground (RAS-G) Interoperability Profile (IOP) Version 6.0. IOP V6.0 will provide the required modular open interfaces and compliance test tools for new programs including S-MET Modular Mission Payloads (MMPs), LRR, CRS(M), TWV-LF, OMFV, RCV, ERP, Assault Breacher Vehicle Remote Control System (ABV RCS), Advanced Reconnaissance Vehicle (ARV), Universal Robotic Controller, and robotic applique kits for manned ground systems. Additionally, FY 2022 RDTE funds will continue the development & hardening of Robotic Operating System, Military (ROS-M) software modules and ROS-M instantiation documents, and management of ROS-M registry & repository infrastructure. FY 2022 RDTE funds will also continue the development and refinement of the Common Specification Reference (CSR).
