WASHINGTON: Robot-builder QinetiQ formally delivered the first of four experimental Robotic Combat Vehicles (Light)<\/a> to the Army on Nov. 5, the company has announced. They will be used alongside four Textron-built RCV-Mediums<\/a> in field tests.<\/p>\n

After their delivery, the Army plans to buy 16 more of each variant as it scales up to more complex experiments. Those 2022 exercises will determine the feasibility of the service\u2019s ambitious plans for a \u201cforward line of robots\u201d<\/a> to precede human troops into battle.<\/p>\n

The RCV-Light is a \u201cvery collaborative effort\u201d that pulls together technologies from QinetiQ<\/a>, industry partner Pratt Miller<\/a>, and the Army\u2019s Ground Vehicle Systems Center<\/a>, QinetiQ\u2019s director of unmanned systems tells me in an email. It also builds on \u201cyears of testing\u201d of earlier versions by the famed Marine Corps Warfighting Laboratory<\/a> in Quantico, Va., Jonathan Hastie says.<\/p>\n

The platform itself is Pratt Miller\u2019s EMAV (Expeditionary Autonomous Modular Vehicle<\/a>), a low-slung hybrid-electric vehicle with tracks to cover rough terrain, with a maximum speed of 45 mph. It\u2019s robust enough to carry 7,200 pounds of payload \u2013 more than its own 6,800 lbs \u2014 \u00a0yet compact enough to fit aboard a Marine V-22<\/a> tiltrotor or an Army CH-47<\/a> helicopter. This is the system tested by the Marines.<\/p>\n

QinetiQ provided much of the electronics and software: \u201cthe core robotic control and computing system, network and communications systems, perception and vision systems; and the safety control,\u201d Hastie told me.<\/p>\n

Less tangible but even more critical is QinetiQ\u2019s implementation of a Modular Open Systems Architecture<\/a> (MOSA), compliant with the Pentagon-defined Inter-Operability Profile<\/a> (IOP) for ground robotics. This is the set of technical standards and common interfaces that let RCV plug-and-play a wide range of different equipment packages for specific missions.<\/p>\n

This specific vehicle features a Kongsberg <\/a>CROWS<\/a>-J <\/a>weapon station \u2013 basically, a remote-controlled mini-turret combining a machine gun and a Javelin anti-tank missile launcher. Normally CROWS is installed on a manned vehicle, allowing the crew to operate their weapons and sensors without exposing themselves in an open hatch, but RCV includes a long-range control link to let humans operate it from different vehicle altogether<\/a>. The robot can\u2019t open fire without a human pulling the trigger. (It also can\u2019t reload the Javelin without human help, so it effectively has one missile per mission, although there\u2019s plenty of machine gun ammo aboard).<\/p>\n

The RCV-L also carries a mini-drone, the HoverFly Tethered Unmanned Aerial System<\/a><\/strong>, which it can launch to look over buildings, hills, and obstacles while the ground vehicle stays hidden. The drone is physically connected to the robot by a power and communications cable, even during flight \u2013 hence the term \u201ctethered.\u201d That does limit its range but effectively\u00a0allows it unlimited flight time.<\/p>\n

The Army\u2019s Ground Vehicle Systems Center provides the software to control both the drone and the weapons station. GVSC also developed the autonomy package. It\u2019s a version of the common software the Army is developing for a variety of robotic vehicles<\/a>, allowing them to navigate cross-country and around obstacles<\/a> without constant human intervention. The less help the machines need from humans, the more useful they can be in battle.<\/p>\n
