Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: During 4-14 February 2008, the U.S. Army Research Laboratory and General Dynamics Robotic Systems conducted an unmanned systems tactical behaviors technology assessment at three training areas of Ft. Indiantown Gap, PA. The purpose of the assessment was to examine the ability to use sensed information to locally orient an unmanned ground vehicle (UGV) in order to obtain line of sight for an onboard reconnaissance surveillance target acquisition system to scan a sufficient portion of a named area of interest (NAI) and the impact of advances in deliberative layer planning technologies to enhance autonomous mobility in a relevant environment. The assessment was an opportunity to evaluate the performance of the technologies in a relevant environment and to provide useful feedback to the engineers for continued development. The results show that the algorithms successfully enabled the UGV to autonomously maneuver to a position that provided sufficient coverage of an NAI and that the interplay of path-planning algorithms at multiple levels has a significant impact on the ability of a UGV to maneuver in a relevant environment.

This book was released on 2003-02-01 with total page 180 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Unmanned ground vehicles (UGV) are expected to play a key role in the Army's Objective Force structure. These UGVs would be used for weapons platforms, logistics carriers, and reconnaissance, surveillance, and target acquisition among other things. To examine aspects of the Army's UGV program, assess technology readiness, and identify key issues in implementing UGV systems, among other questions, the Deputy Assistant Secretary of the Army for Research and Technology asked the National Research Council (NRC) to conduct a study of UGV technologies. This report discusses UGV operational requirements, current development efforts, and technology integration and roadmaps to the future. Key recommendations are presented addressing technical content, time lines, and milestones for the UGV efforts.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In February 2008, the Robotics Program Office of the U.S. Army Research Laboratory and General Dynamics Robotics Systems (GDRS) conducted an assessment of path planning technologies designed to improve Unmanned Ground Vehicle (UGV) autonomous mobility. The purposes of this study were to determine the impact when perceptive and deliberative planners are integrated to enable a UGV to maneuver through terrain, and to further develop a methodology for assessing autonomous UGV tactical behavior. The assessment was conducted at Fort Indiantown Gap, PA over vegetated terrain using the eXperimental Unmanned Vehicle (XUV). The terrain and areas of operation over which the assessment was conducted required the UGV to select its course based on available a priori terrain data, new sensed information in the local environment, and required mission attributes. In this paper, we will share qualitative assessment data on performance of the technologies and recommendations for improving future technology assessments.

This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 315 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Intelligent Unmanned Ground Vehicles describes the technology developed and the results obtained by the Carnegie Mellon Robotics Institute in the course of the DARPA Unmanned Ground Vehicle (UGV) project. The goal of this work was to equip off-road vehicles with computer-controlled, unmanned driving capabilities. The book describes contributions in the area of mobility for UGVs including: tools for assembling complex autonomous mobility systems; on-road and off-road navigation; sensing techniques; and route planning algorithms. In addition to basic mobility technology, the book covers a number of integrated systems demonstrated in the field in realistic scenarios. The approaches presented in this book can be applied to a wide range of mobile robotics applications, from automated passenger cars to planetary exploration, and construction and agricultural machines. Intelligent Unmanned Ground Vehicles shows the progress that was achieved during this program, from brittle specially-built robots operating under highly constrained conditions, to groups of modified commercial vehicles operating in tough environments. One measure of progress is how much of this technology is being used in other applications. For example, much of the work in road-following, architectures and obstacle detection has been the basis for the Automated Highway Systems (AHS) prototypes currently under development. AHS will lead to commercial prototypes within a few years. The cross-country technology is also being used in the development of planetary rovers with a projected launch date within a few years. The architectural tools built under this program have been used in numerous applications, from an automated harvester to an autonomous excavator. The results reported in this work provide tools for further research development leading to practical, reliable and economical mobile robots.

This book was released on 2005-08-05 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Autonomous vehicles (AVs) have been used in military operations for more than 60 years, with torpedoes, cruise missiles, satellites, and target drones being early examples.1 They have also been widely used in the civilian sector-for example, in the disposal of explosives, for work and measurement in radioactive environments, by various offshore industries for both creating and maintaining undersea facilities, for atmospheric and undersea research, and by industry in automated and robotic manufacturing. Recent military experiences with AVs have consistently demonstrated their value in a wide range of missions, and anticipated developments of AVs hold promise for increasingly significant roles in future naval operations. Advances in AV capabilities are enabled (and limited) by progress in the technologies of computing and robotics, navigation, communications and networking, power sources and propulsion, and materials. Autonomous Vehicles in Support of Naval Operations is a forward-looking discussion of the naval operational environment and vision for the Navy and Marine Corps and of naval mission needs and potential applications and limitations of AVs. This report considers the potential of AVs for naval operations, operational needs and technology issues, and opportunities for improved operations.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The U.S. Army's current portfolio of unmanned ground vehicles (UGVs) is the culmination of more than forty years of effort since the first mobile robot was developed in the late 1960s. DoD and DA have made significant progress in acquiring warfighting capabilities associated with UGVs over that time. This progress was enabled through the work of both department and partners in government, academia, and industry. It was guided by a variety of strategies from national strategic documents to science and technology master plans. This paper analyzes the existing, emergent U.S. Army UGV strategy through the use of a framework developed for analyzing business strategy and system dynamics techniques. Through this analysis, the need for a designed and deliberate Army UGV strategy is identified and recommendations for inclusion in the strategy are proposed.
