Robotic Combat Vehicle ? Prototype Platforms

Abstract

Robotic Combat Vehicle (RCV) ? Prototype Platforms effort will produce unmanned combat vehicle prototypes with the purpose of creating an experimental unit that Soldiers will use to create new Concepts of Operations (CONOPS) and new requirements for unmanned combat vehicles to support Army Modernization priorities. Several variants of prototypes will be created, starting first with surrogate platforms which adapt existing platforms into surrogate RCVs for early experimentation in several different weight classes. Based off of lessons learned from the surrogate vehicle builds, platforms optimized to be RCVs will be built which maximize the capability advantages that unmanned platforms can offer such as reduced platform size and weight. The platforms will be built with the purpose of going through ATEC safety release and ultimately for Soldier evaluation through iterative User experimentation.
