Army Green Berets from the 1st Special Forces Group conducted two weeks of hands-on experimentation with Project Origin unmanned systems at Dugway Proving Ground, Utah. Including Special Operations Forces into technology assessments provides more in-depth understanding of what is needed to mature unmanned systems for the Army’s Operating Force.

SOFIC 2022: A recent experiment with Army special operations forces used robotic vehicles to tackle more dangerous aspects of missions as the service works to further refine how soldiers and robots will fight alongside each other in the future.
Green Berets with the 1st Special Forces Group used the US Army’s Project Origin robotic technology demonstrator vehicle to make initial contact with adversaries and mask operators’ movements towards the objective during a two-week experiment in February at Dugway Proving Ground, Utah.
While the experiment helped to inform requirements for the Army’s Robotic Combat Vehicle (RCV), it also allowed the special operations community to learn more about how SOF personnel would fight alongside unmanned ground vehicles.
