 | 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 ... |

 | A Radiation Source Identification and Targeting (RadSITE[TradeMark]) innovation has been conceptually demonstrated that remotely detects and identifies one or more Localized Gamma Sources simultaneously and also provides Azimuth Directions of each source. The innovation exploits the superior energy resolution of Cerium Doped Lanthanum Bromide (LaBr3:Ce) Scintillators to select only photons emanating directly from the localized source(s). Laboratory Bench Testing provided physical confirmation that an array of unique, elongated geometry, LaBr3:Ce ... |

| Unmanned weapons remove humans from deadly situations. However some systems, such as unmanned guns, are difficult to control remotely. It is difficult for a soldier to perform the complex tasks of identifying and aiming at specific points on targets from a remote location. This paper describes a computer vision and control system for providing autonomous control of unmanned guns developed at Space and Naval Warfare Systems Center, San Diego (SSC ... |

| In the area of logistics, there currently is a capability gap between the one-ton Army robotic Multifunction Utility/Logistics and Equipment (MULE) vehicle and a soldier's backpack. The Unmanned Systems Branch at Space and Naval Warfare Systems Center (SPAWAR Systems Center, or SSC), San Diego, with the assistance of a group of interns from nearby High Tech High School, has demonstrated enabling technologies for a solution that fills this gap. A ... |
