Technologies we are seeking

Current Army areas of interest for unmanned ground system technologies include, but are not limited to, the following capabilities:

Supervised autonomous navigation that can maneuver through rough terrain under adverse environmental and lighting conditions.
Unmanned reconnaissance, surveillance, target acquisition, scout and engagement.
Navigation in global positioning system (GPS)-denied environments.
Command and control of robotic assets.
An agnostic autonomous kit ready for any wheeled vehicle.
Sensor information projected to a remote work station.
Increased situational awareness by vehicle operators.
Safer operation in limited-visibility environments.
Increased operational tempo and a decrease in friendly vehicle collisions.
A large robotic platform that can navigate autonomously with manned systems.
Robots that can assume roles as a member of a squad or formation.
Man-portable robots - less than 50 pounds per module - that fit into a Modular Lightweight Load-carrying Equipment pack for stowage.
