Remote Munitions Deployment from an Unmanned Ground Vehicle

Authors: Jeremy Gray; James Mason; Patrick Griffin; Charles Dean; ARMY TANK AUTOMOTIVE RESEARCH DEVELOPMENT AND ENGINEERING CENTER WARREN MI
Abstract:
High-risk missions often entail ground forces being required to manually emplace and deploy obstacle breaching munitions to generate a footpath through antipersonnel obstacles. A safer method for obstacle breaching is highly desired. Implementation of UGVs with live munitions has been demonstrated to mitigate risk by generating an increased stand-off distance while operating the system from a concealed position. This paper presents the research, development, and testing results of the integration of live munitions with UGV platforms.
