What are the DoD efforts on vision-based aerial navigation?
The Defense Systems Information Analysis Center (DSIAC) is researching the development of terrain-based digital twins and vision-based navigation for advancing low-flying aerial systems’ capabilities. This technology can be at any technology readiness level. Applications for uncrewed systems would also be of interest. If you are interested in collaborating, please email the DSIAC analyst John Clements…
Multifunctional Robotics Platforms for First Responders
The Homeland Defense and Security Information Analysis Center (HDIAC) was recently tasked with finding commercial- or government-off-the-shelf multifunctional robotics platforms to assist first responders in day-to-day activities. This would include any combination of hazardous material detection and handling, payload transportation and manipulation, autonomous navigation and mobility, surveillance and reconnaissance capabilities, or general enhancements to situational…
Applying the Autonomous Ground Vehicle Reference Architecture to MBSE
Utilizing model-based systems engineering (MBSE) is a key enabler for high-quality system design and application of Modular Open Systems Approach principles. The Autonomous Ground Vehicle Reference Architecture (AGVRA) provides meta-models, architectural guidelines, best practices, and a library of reusable model content for the Army robotics and autonomous systems (RAS) community to facilitate MBSE development of…
