MTRS Standardization

Abstract

The Common Robotic System, Heavy (CRS(H)) is a modular large-sized system that provides enhanced protection to the EOD Soldier in order to support the Joint Force Commander with the ability to identify, render safe and dispose of explosive ordnance (EO) and improvised explosive devices (IEDs) in support of the Range of Military Operations (ROMO) and Home Land Defense (HLD) operations. CRS(H) will also enable EOD Soldiers to execute Defense Support of the Civil Authorities (DSCA) operations in response to requests from federal, state, local, and tribal authorities for domestic incidents, emergencies, disasters, designated law enforcement support and other activities. CRS(H) will support current and future missions for Explosive Ordnance Disposal (EOD) units. FY 2020 RDTE funds in the amount of $7.000 million will enable the CRS(H) program to complete the following: System Engineering, Program Management, design and test support, refurbishment of test assets from Fly-off #2, development, integration and testing of system-enhancing payloads (eg: dual arm manipulation, autonomy, mapping, etc.), contract data procurement, travel, and other expenses related to the CRS(H) RDTE program. NOTE: $4.618 million of FY 2019 CRS(H) RDTE funds 655053FB9 Ground Robotics, MTRS Standardization, were reprogrammed to the FY 2019 CRS(H) OPA line W12001A EOD Robotics Systems Recapitalization during the Congressional enactment process.
