Program Manager: Dr. Edward van Reuth
Overview
The Unmanned Ground Combat Vehicle (UGCV) – Perception for Off-Road Robotics (PerceptOR) Integration (UPI) program is integrating and testing autonomous navigation algorithms with the Spinner platform to yield an unmanned ground vehicle (UGV) that operates reliably in obstacle-rich terrain. Spinners are being used as platforms to port and test methods for perception techniques to optimize autonomous performance. This integration of the best-of-class sensors and algorithms on a vehicle of Spinner's class represents a leap forward in UGV capability. Autonomous mobility is being further enhanced by the use of terrain data for path planning. The program's technologies will transfer to the FCS UGV Integrated Product Team activities to include System Development and Demonstration (SDD) efforts and potential early spirals into FCS anticipated to occur in FY 2008.
