Open Architecture Initiatives Bolster Unmanned Sensors and Systems
The advent of unmanned systems reflects a huge aspect of warfare – that of protecting the warfighter – through the development of platforms that can be operated by humans from a distance, keeping them out of harm’s way.
Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning for Unmanned Vehicles
Military experts are developing new enabling technologies to help unmanned aircraft, ground vehicles, submarines, and surface vessels swarm and make decisions without human intervention.
Additive manufacturing, also called 3D printing, is having an influence on military logistics, and helps supply personnel get replacement parts where and when they’re needed — even on the front lines.
Unmanned Systems Vulnerable to the Enemy, Which Makes Trusted Computing a Critical Cyber Design Challenge
Reliable, secure communications become much more critical in unmanned systems. If communications are lost, the unmanned system may need to throttle back.
The Commonality of COTS Solutions for UUVs and UAVs
There is significant commonality between unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) and UUV environments with standard rugged military commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) embedded solutions often applicable to both.
