Mobile Intelligent Sensors (MIS)
Abstract
There has been continuing interest in exploiting new legged, wheeled, and tracked robots to create "robot-enabled sensors" that are capable of sensing, moving, and self-organizing into a viable network for reliable data exfiltration. The Mobile Intelligent Sensors (MIS) program and the Remote Detection of Suspicious Vehicles (RDSV) program developed such advanced sensor, exploitation, networking, and battle management capabilities for joint dismounted forces. These nodes have a sufficient level of embedded intelligence so that they can identify, learn, adapt, and traverse through or under small openings and circumnavigate barriers larger than themselves, yet are capable of carrying an operationally-meaningful day/night sensor payload. Technologies transitioned to the Army, Special Operations Command, and the Marine Corps.
