UAS ROADMAP 2005
In Phase I, an experimental unmanned vehicle-based robot with a RSTA package and a Javelin missile were demonstrated. The culminating demonstration was completed in FY2002 with the successful launch of 19 Light Anti-armor Weapon (LAW) rockets and one Javelin missile. Phase II of the demonstration occurred in FY2003, successfully firing three Javelin missiles, three Hellfire missiles, and over 500 7.62 mm rounds from the M240 machine gun. Phase III involved firing a Mk-19 Grenade Launcher from a HMMWV-based robot while it was teleoperated (shoot on the move). Coordinates of the target, provided by a small unmanned aircraft were fed into the system, which then calculated the firing solution and engaged the target. The Phase III experiment occurred in September 2004.
UA-UGV Cooperative Development
Background: The UA-UGV cooperative development program is a USAF robotics R&D effort to develop and extend technologies to enhance UA/UGV capabilities through cooperative behaviors. This initiative captures the lessons learned in the 2003 STORK demonstration and seeks to advance the combined potential of UA and UGVs interoperating together in a common network to increase mission effectiveness. Planned development includes: (1) a JAUS/NATO STANAGS-compliant UA, (2) enhanced teleoperation and autonomy of low-cost rotary-wing UA, (3) an aerial communications relay to extend the radio range of UGVs, (4) insertion of aerial imagery into UGVs for map/model building and situational awareness, (5) precision UGV marsupial emplacement/recovery using a rotary-wing UA, (6) terrain modeling for UGV path planning – adapting existing technology to JAUS-compatibility, and (7) visual recognition for obstacle avoidance/intruder detection. A range of JAUS compliant UA/UGV platforms are envisioned. A summary of two potential platforms follows:

UGV-UA Cooperative Development at SPAWAR Systems Center San Diego
The UGV-UA cooperative development efforts at SPAWAR Systems Center San Diego (SSC-SD) are designed to take advantage of the 20 years of experience in ground and air unmanned systems, and the current SSC SD products including Multi-robot Operator Control Unit (MOCU) and MDARS-E. Development is taking place in several areas.
