1. Demonstrate emerging robotictechnologies that address capability gapsand are synchronized with S&T

challenges and Warfighter Outcomes.

2. Identify and recommend robust solutionsfor further experimentation.

Event Objectives

A combination of task-based open events andfree-style demonstrations formarketresearch, not source selection. This will bean opportunity for contractors and academia

who may be new to the Army to demonstrateproducts and technology that are at or aboveTRL 6 in a operationally relevantenvironment, and provide contractors

valuable exposure to military personnel.

Vignette Theme

The theme for this years vignettes is support for the

Combat Outpost (COP). We are looking for robotictechnologies that demonstrate the capability to:

Deploy

Setup

Protect

Sustain

Relocate

14


15/30

Vignette #1 CorralSetup, Deploy, and Relocate

The robot must autonomously establish hasty pronefighting positions on a section of a combat outpostperimeter based on locations given by the operator.

This vignette specifically addresses S&T Challenge: 1a (Force Protection Basing)

WFO Protection. C

Corral

16/30

Vignette #1 CorralSetup, Deploy, and Relocate

Requirements

12 deep

84 long

Hasty Prone Fighting Position

Sets of two:

1. Arrive: Sling-Loadable. UH-60 (6,000lbs)2. Drive vehicle to starting location

Position vehicle at center of desired perimeter Orient vehicle to face threat

3. Dig/Trench sets of Hasty Prone Fighting Positions ona 100ft. radius

4. Dig 1 set (Threshold), Dig 9 sets per hour (Objective)5. Provide Soil Berm on threat side.

No soldier operators unlessSafety release

16


17/30

Vignette #2 GunslingerProtect

The robot must identify and alert the operator of potential hostileactivity, then acquire and track moving targets. The purpose is to

test the ability to autonomously discern friend or foe and be able toacquire targets from a squad transportable platform. This protectioncapability would be useful for small units operating away from theFOB or COP. This vignette will occur in both daylight and hours ofdarkness. Targets will be actual OPFOR in various dress andequipment configurations either walking, crouching or crawling.

System will acquire and track target with man-in-the-loop to fireMILES Target Verification System. No actual weapons will be fired atthe targets.

This vignette addresses: S&T Challenge 1b (Force Protection Soldier/Small Unit); WFO-Protection Capability Gap (Corps and Belowstaff units lack ability to organically protectthemselves from threats while conductingmobile operations during CAM/WAS).

Gun Slinger

17


18/30

Vignette #2 GunslingerProtect

Requirements

1. Acquire and Track people approaching COP within 100mwhether they are walking, crouching, or crawling.

2. 180 degree FOV3. Engage threat target with STORM Laser Designator(weapon surrogate)

4. Confirm Hit with MILES Target Verification5. Day (Threshold), Night (Objective)

18


19/30

Vignette #3 Wagon TrainSustain

The robot must autonomously navigate to designated multiple

locations and safely unload materiel in a specified order. Palletsrepresenting different classes of supply will be utilized. Thefocus areas are autonomous navigation and materiel handlingcapabilities.

This vignette addresses:

S&T Challenge 2a (Overburdened Physical Burden) S&T Challenge 4a (Sustainability/Logistics) WFO Sustainment Capability Gap (Modular force doesnot have sufficient Materiel Handling Equipmentto receive, store and issue palletized cargo).

Wagon Train

19


20/30

Vignette #3 Wagon TrainSustain

Requirements

1. Move from point A to point B (FOB to COP) along unimproved road2. Max speed 25mph

3. Three pallet loads4. Drop one pallet at each of three pre-designated locations5. 250lb pallet6. 10 digit grid location provided
