Unmanned ground vehicle Demonstration II program

The military has a requirement for a remotely controlled ground system to perform reconnaissance, surveillance, target acquisition, patrolling, and nuclear, biological, chemical detection. The primary goal of the unmanned ground vehicle (UGV) Demonstration II program is to demonstrate advanced technologies such as the utility of semiautonomous navigation in a military situation. The system is based on four high-mobility, multipurpose wheeled vehicles equipped with perception and navigation subsystems capable of performing onroad and offroad operations.<>
