 | The Space and Naval Warfare (SPAWAR) Systems Center Pacific (SSC Pacific) has a long and extensive history in unmanned systems research and development, starting with undersea applications in the 1960s and expanding into ground and air systems in the 1980s. In the ground domain, we are addressing force-protection scenarios using large unmanned ground vehicles (UGVs) and fixed sensors, and simultaneously pursuing tactical and explosive ordnance disposal (EOD) operations with small ... |

| UUVs equipped with high-level control software have a variety of potential applications for Anti-Terrorism/Force Protection (ATFP) objectives. Desirable vehicle control capabilities include the ability to drive at very low, controllable speeds, the ability to maintain a set distance and attitude (pitch and roll) relative to some surface for optimal sensor (both sonar and video) effectiveness, and the ability for the operator to intervene to change the mission activities. Moreover, a ... |

| An increasing variety of sensors are becoming available for use onboard autonomous vehicles. Given these enhanced sensing capabilities, scientific and military personnel are interested in exploiting autonomous vehicles for increasingly complex missions. Most of these missions require the vehicle to function in complex, cluttered environments and react to changing environmental parameters. The present state-of-art vehicles are not maneuverable enough to successfully accomplish most of these tasks. In this research, a ... |
