Unmanned Ground Vehicle (UGV) Lessons Learned

Abstract

The purpose of this effort is to compile Lessons Learned from the unmanned ground vehicle (UGV) programs that could be relevant to the objectives of the Very Shallow Water (VSW) Mine Countermeasures (MCM) and Explosive Ordnance Disposal (EOD) Unmanned Underwater Vehicle (UUV) program. Even though the operational environments of the UGV programs and the UUV program are significantly different, Lessons Learned could save the VSW MCM UUV program considerable time and resources. The domain of relevant Lessons Learned could include program management and contracting, operational concepts, sensor processing and navigation control software, multivehicle coordination processes, and other related robotics technologies.
