- Description
- The United States Army Tank-automotive and Armaments Command intends to solicit a proposal for research and development services in the area of intelligent software that will facilitate adjustably autonomous robotic control. The Army's vision of the future for armored and mechanized military structure includes the use of mixed teams of human and robotic forces on a dynamic and rapidly changing battlefield. Successful implementation of this vision will require autonomous and semi-autonomous robotic fo rces and a command and control infrastructure that will allow human, robotic, and mixed teams to be controlled quickly and easily. For maximum effectiveness this infrastructure should allow human commanders to control the robot teams in a manner similar to how they command human teams, that is, in the language of the military, not the language of robotic control theory. Furthermore, the human interface for robotic command and control must simplify the controller's tasks and automate processes in such a way that the cognitive workload is reduced, situational awareness is enhanced, and situational control is preserved. It is anticipated that a contract will be awarded to Soar Technology, Inc. of Ann Arbor, MI without competition. The contract may extend up to three years if all options are exercised. A cost reimbursement contract is anticipated. The estimated release d ate of the request for proposals is 26 July 2004, closing 9 Sep 2004. Notes 22 and 26 apply.
