The U.S. Army DEVCOM Ground Vehicle Systems Center (GVSC) held a demo earlier this month to showcase robotic and autonomous technological advancements for subterranean (SubT) environments.
According to a recent Army news release, through the Autonomous Tunnel Exploitation (ATE) project, the demonstration exhibited improved situational understanding and tactical advantage by using multi-robot autonomy and sensing in a series of operational tests in a relevant SubT environment.
The GVSC-developed technology advancements included: GPS-denied autonomous navigation; 2D/3D spatial mapping; object detection; integrated chemical, biological, radiological, and nuclear sensing; mesh radio communication; and automated after-action reporting.
