Land Autonomy

Robotics and Autonomous systems, Human Machine Teaming, ISTAR and other data driven things. Views my own.

@thinkdefence To be fair, HORIBA MIRA is already in Japanese ownership. So, moving it’s UGV business to Iveco is technically bringing it closer to home. 😀

ChatGPT is sometimes amazing, and sometimes hilariously wrong. Here, it confidently explains to me why an abacus is faster than a GPU. 😃

@thinkdefence Vehemently agree. The logistics of how all uncrewed systems (not just air) are managed in the deployed environment deserves serious attention. Implications for battlefield power, MRO, software updates and other unsexy but vital things abound…

[Land Autonomy @landautonomy]

@thinkdefence Given the prevalence of UAS within the conflict, the default assumption of some that everything Uncrewed = hacked/jammed must be called into question. However, ground vehicle autonomy still not robust enough for complex behaviours/missions

@thinkdefence AFAIK, an electrification strategy is being worked up by Army that will address topics such as this. Expect that more will come out in the not too distant future.

Earlier today, Mr Keith Mallon, Global Campaign Business Development Leader - Land Information Advantage - @QinetiQ, presented on "ENABLING HUMAN MACHINE TEAMING FOR RAS ENABLED OPERATIONS"

Sponsor QinetiQ are also hosting a virtual booth across two-days of #RAS2021!

@MugfordSimon @felix_sears @thinkdefence It’s an option although the development costs sit with industry rather than MoD. However the platform dev costs pale in comparison to the software investment req’d. So a better question is where the SW is going to come from and the supporting data infrastructure to make it real

[Land Autonomy @landautonomy]

@felix_sears @thinkdefence Sort of. TITAN features computing and software mods but no changes to the base platform. This is somewhat different in that the platform itself is modified. I’m not sure what software stack they’re using on it though.

It's your last chance to sign for our Grey Zone webinar tomorrow at 15:00 GMT. Join us for just 1 hour of your day for a panel debate on the common challenges of Grey Zone warfare. Sign up here: https://t.co/jsQDWKd8sZ

@wavellroom THESEUS is about autonomy in logistics rather than robotics in CASEVAC. I’m about as ambitious with RAS as you can get but the safety case for robotic CASEVAC by 2025 does not seem achievable to me. UAS are prone to crashes. Lots of crashes. Risk levels too high right now I think

[QinetiQ Group @QinetiQ]

For #Robotics and #Autonomous Systems to offer genuine, transformative advantage, land concepts must undergo radical reform. Our fifth and final #EPW blog explores #RAS concept to capability, assurance, and offers four practical recommendations, here: https://t.co/YbmxOwP0eN

@SamBendett Where’s it sensors? I can’t see any. Is it doing this through track feedback alone? Must need some positioning data??

[QinetiQ Group @QinetiQ]

The power of #Robotics and #Autonomous Systems (RAS) comes from leveraging information and data shared between multiple systems. Without this connectivity, RAS cannot operate. Discover our blog and video on the heart of the #RAS ecosystem: Information. https://t.co/7OmOJ56gXB

[Land Autonomy @landautonomy]

The next drop in our series of content on Enacting Prototype Warfare. This time we look at how RAS could have been employed during a major river crossing op. Hypothetical, obviously. But a useful thought experiment.

[QinetiQ Group @QinetiQ]

Robotics and #autonomous systems play a key role in today's operational environments. But how would battles of years past have looked with the use of modern day technologies? We take a look using a famous WW2 scenario in our latest blog here:

@BAZ65529105 @thinkdefence That use case has been explored by a few organisations. It makes a lot of sense. GPR suspended from a UAV can be very efficient. Working within ECM bubble can pose challenges though - but Likely surmountable

[Land Autonomy @landautonomy]

@thinkdefence Point being, sometimes it’ll be a good idea, sometimes a bad one. Different tools for different jobs.
