Increase Mission Performance

A variety of potential applications to land operations can increase mission performance, combat effectiveness, and personnel safety. These include detection, neutralization, and breaching of minefields and other obstacles; physical security; logistics; fire-fighting; urban warfare; weapons employment; and operations in contaminated and other denied areas.

Remote Control from a Safe Location

Teleoperation capabilities, or the ability for an operator to manipulate and control a UGV remotely from a safe location through a tether or radio link, is the most mature control technology available and therefore is an area of emphasis of capability. Teleoperation capabilities are important to the war fighter, as well as to civilian, because they enable standoff operations and thereby reduce or remove operator risks in highly stressful and dangerous environments, such as minefields and in areas of potential explosive hazards.

Reducing Risks

The use of unmanned vehicles is reducing the number of lives put at risk and enabling significant increases in the information available to the war fighter or civilian. Moreover, as these vehicles have evolved, they are increasingly being sent on missions that could not be performed without the use of robotic technology. While the vehicles themselves are unmanned, humans remain in control of the vehicles and the mission.
