Towards unmanned systems for dismounted operations in the Canadian Forces
نویسندگان
چکیده
Unmanned systems are designed to reduce risk and magnify the impact of manned forces. Expanding unmanned involvement in military operations will require greater vehicle autonomy and the adoption of new concepts of operations. This paper discusses the technical challenges of unmanned systems in support of dismounted operations and research efforts by Defence R&D Canada to support unmanned vehicles in this role. New projects have been formulated to address these technical challenges.

Unmanned Airborne Vehicles (UAVs) provide significant operational benefits to many different military organisations. At present, however, most systems lack the reliability of conventional air support. This imposes considerable demands on the teams that must operate and maintain UAVs. It also creates considerable risks for the units that must retrieve these vehicles and for local populations dur...
متن کاملBARS: Battlefield Augmented Reality System
Many future military operations are expected to occur in urban environments. These complex, 3D battlefields are extremely demanding and introduce many challenges to the dismounted warfighter. These include limited visibility, lack of familiarity with the environment, sniper threats, concealment of enemy forces, ineffective communications, and a general problem of locating and identifying enemy ...
متن کاملICARUS and DARIUS approaches towards interoperability Two complementary projects that cover the full spectrum of interoperability issues for the integration of unmanned platforms in Search and Rescue operations
The two FP7 projects ICARUS and DARIUS share a common objective which is to integrate the unmanned platforms in Search and Rescue operations and assess their added value through the development of an integrated system that will be tested in realistic conditions on the field. This paper describes the concept of both projects towards an optimized interoperability level in the three dimensions: or...
