Standardised unmanned ground vehicle with open architecture (SUGV).

closed

This EDA study aims to investigate open standards for current and future UGVs in order to: — reduce the whole life cost of ownership of current and future systems, — provide interfaces that comply with publicly available open standards, — allow incremental improvement of systems, — allow technology insertion whilst minimising integration costs, — improve operational effectiveness, — decouple hardware and software where possible, — specify the minimum possible investment to achieve the aims without hampering innovation, — enabling collaboration between UGV and UAS systems, — promote interoperability between controllers and different robotic systems, — promote payload modularity and commonality.
