Modular Autonomous Vehicle Technologies

The Government is interested in proposals to incorporate lessons learned from Tactical Wheeled Vehicle (TWV) Leader Follower (LF) and Robotic Combat Vehicle (RCV) programs and integrate these technologies onto new cab and cab-less prototype vehicles. The cab and cab-less prototype vehicles will be required to support the integration of new logistics and combat payloads. The Government is seeking proposals to conduct the design, development and integration of robotic applique kits onto the prototype vehicles; in addition to supporting field testing and Soldier experimentation. Communication between the robotic applique kits shall utilize Interoperability Profile (IOP). The prototype systems shall utilize the Government’s autonomy software, Robotic Technology Kernel (RTK); with robotic modes including teleoperation, waypoint navigation and leader follower. The prototype systems will undergo a series of Government managed field testing events to verify they meet the requirements.
