Unmanned Ground Systems Research

Abstract

This effort researches, designs, and develops technologies that enable scalable integration of multi-domain teamed robotic and autonomous system capabilities supporting Army combat formations. Investigate behaviors and algorithms to mature functions that detect and classify risks and threats, reduce burden on the Soldier operator, and validate initial safety procedures for armed Unmanned Ground Vehicles (UGVs) in contested, austere and congested environments. Investigates increased situational awareness needed for a high degree of survivability and lethality for complex maneuvers. Mature government-owned autonomy architecture to enable iterative software capability upgrades for systems. Conduct experiments in static environment with multiple live and simulated manned-unmanned vehicles with evolving threats. Investigate behaviors and hardware needed to rapidly learn, adapt & reason faster than the adversary. This effort is coordinated with efforts in PEs 0602120A, 0602784A, 0603005A, and 0603734A.
