AMN ExperimentationTrident Warrior ‘10
Trident Warrior 2010 (TW10)OVERVIEWTRIDENT WARRIOR (TW) is the premier annual FORCEnet Sea Trial Fleet experimentation event that executes a series of operational experiments involving fleet assets (at sea and ashore). TW provides the Navy with a quality venue to experiment with technologies in a maritime environment that could potentially provide near-term solutions to enhance warfighting capabilities and fill capability gaps. Ultimately, TW is designed to accelerate the delivery of new/improved capabilities to the warfighter through Program of Record (POR) acceleration or transition of new technologies into PORs.
AMN TW10 CONOPSNECC is sponsoring AMN to assess and demonstrate improved C3 capabilities, situational awareness, and force protection for its Echelon IV units. MSRON-3 C2 Det will set up a MAST tent with associated SHF communications gear that will integrate with the Joint Expeditionary C3 (JEC3) system to correlate multiple sensor inputs – on land and at sea - and produce a robust common operational picture. Autonomous Maritime Navigation (AMN) system which will be conducting surveillance missions in the San Diego Bay OPAREA in the vicinity of Point Loma/North Island.
AMN TW 10 Objectives
• Overarching Objective:• Demonstrate autonomous flexibility by converting a standard
Navy RHIB into an autonomous USV capable of cooperative autonomy in order to provide persistent surveillance and relevant information to the expeditionary commander via an adhoc expeditionary WAN.
• Sub-objectives• Demonstrate multiple USVs are capable of accomplishing
assigned mission(s) by executing flexible and sufficient cooperative autonomy mission behaviors
• Demonstrate autonomous USVs can provide persistent surveillance and locate, identify and track contacts in accordance with assigned mission.
• Demonstrate an autonomous USV capable of providing relevant, timely and accurate information to the expeditionary EC3 via an adhoc expeditionary WAN.
• Demonstrate the flexibility of AMN sensor and autonomous capability by converting a standard Navy RHIB into an autonomous USV.
Autonomous Maritime Navigation (AMN)
OPERATIONAL NEED
• Objective: Transition AMN autonomous control system module and multi-purpose sensor system for Navy Expeditionary Combat Command (NECC) autonomous USV operations (solo or cooperative) using existing and purpose built small boat inventory.
• Value to Warfighter: Persistent ISR capability with no risk to personnel, reduction in required manpower and bandwidth costs over remote control operations.
PROPOSED SOLUTION
• Technology: NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) robotics technologies and advanced algorithms for autonomous platform systems management, operation, and navigation, operational software and COTS/GOTS portable sensors.
• Partners: NASA JPL, Marshall University, NSWCCD Carderock, OSD OFT, Spatial Integrated Systems
• Similar Related products: No similar known fully autonomous USV. Many remote controlled, man in the loop USVs under development.
CAPABILITIES
• Full autonomous capability for any Unmanned Surface Vessel (USV) enabled by an adaptable sensor module and an autonomy and fusion module- Flexible Modules: Variable sensor mix and ruggedized container sizes- Can make any vessel a USV in days
• Use existing boat inventories
• Adapt sensors and autonomous behaviors to fit operational needs

TW 10 Cooperative Behavior Plan
Rick SimonDirector, SIS30 April 2010
NECC has multiple missions and operational needs that would be drastically enhanced with the implementation of USVs. AMN is an autonomous system, able to turn a manned surface craft into an unmanned craft, which has the potential capabilities to meet several NECC mission needs.
Purpose
◦ Successfully demonstrate the capability to pass data to an expeditionary C2 node (through EC3) providing greater situational awareness in real-time
◦ Demonstrate persistent surface surveillance capability Locate and track targets of interest for classification and threat
identification◦ Cooperative complex autonomous behavior between two
AMN USVs Harbor patrol activity, deter and/or engage unwanted vessels Autonomous escort of high value asset through a choke point
location◦ Successfully demonstrate the expeditious installation of AMN
on a Navy craft (NECC type vessel)◦ Successfully demonstrate the addition of new sensors,
expanding to the systems’ capabilities
Objectives
Griffin / AMN will participate in TW10, 7-11 June in the SOCAL OPAREA during the TW10 MDA initiative demonstration period. Two missions will be conducted. Each mission will be repeated on consecutive days to ensure adequate data is collected.◦ Mission 1: 09-1500 local 7 June & 09-1500 8
June◦ Mission 2: 10-1400 local 9 June & 10-1400 10
June◦ 11 June is backup day: weather / mechanical
AMN MISSIONS AT TW10

situational awareness and tactical responses Blocking and deterring behavior
MISSION DETAILS – Mission 1
High value asset (HVA) littoral escort in a choke point area (4 hours)
Demonstrate escort capability Exhibit roles in choke point area while
escorting Real-time tactical picture with usable data for
situational awareness and tactical responses Blocking and deterring behavior
MISSION DETAILS – Mission 2
TW 10 Cooperative Harbor Patrol Blocking Behavior
Plan - Original (Goalkeeper)
Initial Positions – One USV patrolling outer area,
one in goal area
Intruder - Nearest USV blocks. If in outer area, patrolling USV blocks.
Intruder - Nearest USV blocks. If Intruder is nearest to Goalkeeper USV, then ‘Goalie’ blocks
and patrolling USV moves to ‘Goalie’ position.
If two Intruders, both USV’s block in goal box.
TW 10 Cooperative Harbor Patrol Blocking Behavior
Plan - Optional
Initial Positions – Spaced evenly within the Security Area
Shore- Protected Area
Intruder enters - Closest USV moves to block (hold position 200m closer to Shore than Intruder),
Untasked USV moves to Center
Shore- Protected Area
Second Intruder enters – Untasked USV moves to block, Second USV continues to block
Shore- Protected Area
USV’s continue to block until their Intruder leaves the area
Shore- Protected Area
Once USV’s are free, they return to Center Point (if one free) or
equally spaced points (if both free)
Shore- Protected Area
TW 10 Cooperative HVU Escort transiting Choke
Point Behavior Plan
Column formation for channel transit, hold 200m distances for leader and
follower (no blocking)
Upon channel exit, Escort USV’s assume
line abreast formation (3 and 9 o’clock positions) at 200m
When Intruder approaches within 500m of HVU, nearest USV moves to block (keeps 200m distance
from HVU), untasked USV moves opposite
When two Intruders approach within 500m of HVU, both USV’s block (still
maintaining 200m from HVU)
