UGVs in Joint Warfighting and Transformation
The Services have recognized a critical warfighting role for both current and future unmanned ground systems. More robotic systems are being deployed today than ever before and the trend continues to rise. Service transformation plans, as well as current operations in the Global War on Terror (GWOT) feature unmanned systems prominently. The Services continue to develop overarching warfighting concepts that depend on unmanned systems (air, ground, marine) working collaboratively to achieve success on tomorrow’s battlefields. These systems, as articulated in the programs below, are envisioned to contribute to increased mission effectiveness and are planned for integration into Service force structures:
.
Joint Service – Man-Transportable Robotic System (MTRS)
.
Army – Future Force: Future Combat Systems (FCS)
.
Marines/Navy – Autonomous Operations: Gladiator Tactical Unmanned Ground Vehicle (TUGV)
.
Air Force – Air Expeditionary Warfare: Robotics for Agile Combat Support and the Airborne
Explosive Ordnance Disposal Concept The GWOT has created urgent and compelling worldwide requirements for UGVs. The JRP is responding to the UGV requirements by deploying unmanned countermine, Explosive Ordnance Disposal (EOD), and reconnaissance systems to support our troops in the Balkans and in Operations ENDURING FREEDOM and IRAQI FREEDOM. Prototype and fielded UGVs participated in and are essential tools in completing dangerous missions in support of our forces in Afghanistan and in Iraq. As our forces in Iraq have transitioned to counter-insurgency operations, requirements for UGVs to assist in neutralizing Improvised Explosive Devices (IEDs) have increased dramatically. The JRP is meeting the needs around the globe with a combination of All-purpose Remote Transport Systems (ARTS), Remote Ordnance Neutralization Systems (RONS), Mini-Flails, Panthers, prototypes, and commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) systems, including over 200 new systems to Central Command in FY2004 alone. These systems are providing the Services with unmanned force protection, EOD, and countermine capabilities.

Joint Robotics Programs of Record
Remote Ordnance Neutralization System (RONS) Continuous Improvement Program (CIP)
User Service: Air Force/Army/Navy/Marine Corps
Manufacturer: Northrop Grumman (REMOTEC)
Inventory: 271 delivered/ available through GSA
Background: RONS is a fielded Joint Service EOD robotic system used by EOD technicians in each of the military Services. It complements and augments the EOD technician when performing reconnaissance, access, render safe, pick-up and carry away, and disposal during extremely hazardous missions involving unexploded ordnance (UXO) and IEDs. Current systems inventories of latest Mk 3, Mod 0 RONS include: Air Force -137, Army-72, Navy-33, and Marine Corps-29. The RONS has been made interoperable with many EOD tools and chemical and nuclear detectors over the past several years though a Continuous Improvement Program (CIP). The CIP effort works with EOD users to improve and expand the mission capability of the system through incremental improvements. FY2005 will see the integration of the Joint Chemical Agent Detector (JCAD) with the RONS and the integration of a night vision capability.
