Description
Description — Robotics and Applique Systems
The Enhanced Robotic Payloads (ERP) is a suite of payloads with open architecture to provide an increased level of standoff and situational awareness to respond to current and emergent Chemical, Biological, Radiological, Nuclear, and Explosives (CBRNe) and Explosive Ordinance Disposal (EOD) requirements. These payloads will integrate with the Man Transportable Robotic System (MTRS) Inc II and Common Robotic System - Heavy platforms. The suite of payloads includes Extended Range Mesh Networking (ERMN) and Pan/Tilt Imager (PTI). ERMN provides radio repeater nodes capable of extending the distance between the operator and platform, including a deployment and retrieval method. PTI enables the operator to see objects not normally visible to the naked eye. The approved Army Acquisition Objective (AAO) for the suite of systems that make up the ERP program is as follows: ERMN - 799 / PTI - 533. The Small Multipurpose Equipment Transport (S-MET) provides small units with a remote-controlled cargo/equipment transport and limited tactical resupply capability, increasing mission capabilities while reducing the individual Soldier load. The S-MET will be capable of carrying 2,500 pounds of equipment currently required to support Infantry and Engineer Platoons in the Infantry Brigade Combat Team (IBCT) for a 72-hour mission without resupply. It is also capable of generating 1-3KW of offload power, with an operational range of 20 miles in silent mode. S-MET will have open architectures, a remote control, support casualty evacuation, and integrate a number of Modular Mission Payloads (MMP) and technical insertions. The Army Acquisition Objective (AAO) is 2,819 across S-MET Inc I and S-MET Inc II. The Army Procurement Objective (APO) S-MET Inc I quantity is 624 under a Middle Tier of Acquisition Rapid Fielding (MTA-RF). The remaining AAO will be fulfilled through S-MET Inc I/II quantities. The Autonomous Transport Vehicle (ATV) funding line supports the Autonomous Transport Vehicle-System (ATV-S) effort that equips Tactical Wheeled Vehicles with autonomous behaviors. Additionally, the capability gives convoy commanders flexibility to leverage the six levels of automated driving that range from Level 0 (Fully Manual) to Level 5 (Fully Autonomous), and any combination therein to conduct convoy operations. Autonomous driving behaviors enables increased operational efficiency of tactical wheeled vehicles resulting in an increase of sustainment throughput while reducing Soldier exposure to hostile threats. The Soldier Borne Sensor (SBS) is a small unmanned aerial vehicle. It is a squad level system that provides situational awareness to 1 kilometer with a 20 minute endurance. The SBS provides the Squad with an organic "quick look" capability for near real-time video feeds of larger, complex, and restrictive environments. It reduces exposure to potential threats and enhances freedom of maneuver by providing actionable information to support decisions at the lowest echelon. The Army has approved requirements documents, namely the SBS Capabilities Production Document (CPD). The approved Army Acquisition Objective (AAO) for this program is 10,317. The First Unit Equipped (FUE) occurred in FY 2019. Funding in this project aligns with the Army's priorities in support of Army Transformation Initiative (ATI). Starting FY2026, funding realigned to I42011000/Soldier Borne Sensor agile funding.
