Hear from Dstl, UK MoD and TARDEC, US Army at Military Robotics and Autonomous Systems 2019 as they work closely together
SMi reports: Peter Stockel, DSTL and Dr. Robert Sadowski, US Army RDECOM TARDEC to present at 2019's Military Robotics and Autonomous Systems conference
Following the communique signature between the UK and the US in 2014, the UK MoD (DSTL) have been working closely with their American counterparts (TARDEC, ARDEC) to develop effective demonstrations and assessments of new autonomous technologies. The Coalition Assured Autonomous Resupply (CAAR) is an example of such collaboration. This demonstration showed capability in unmanned tactical resupply throughout the 'Last Mile' - the final, most difficult, and dangerous stage of logistics support to soldiers in a combat zone.
Dr Robert Sadowski will present: "Enhanced Robotic Modularity: Exploitation of Sustainable RAS". The presentation will cover "Analysing the advantages of using modular robotics for multiple combat scenarios"; "Enhancing the use of modular robotics for increased sustainability"; "Future advancements and gains from man-unmanned teaming" and "The use of the Modular Advanced Armed Robotic System (MAARS)".
Mr Peter Stockel will present: "Strengthening Manoeuvrability and Sustainability of Last Mile Operations with Robotics and Autonomous Systems: Coalition Assured Autonomous Resupply (CAAR)" His presentation will cover "The current position and assessments of CAAR"; "Integration challenges for RAS use in a coalition scenario"; "Enhancing RAS capabilities to maximise manoeuvrability of resupply missions"; and "Supporting logistics and survivability: reducing risks to military personnel and increasing efficiency of last mile logistics".

Featured Product
Model TR1 Tru-Trac
The Model TR1 Tru-Trac® linear measurement solution is a versatile option for tracking velocity, position, or distance over a wide variety of surfaces. An integrated encoder, measuring wheel, and spring-loaded torsion arm in one, compact unit, the Model TR1 is easy to install. The spring-loaded torsion arm offers adjustable torsion load, allowing the Model TR1 to be mounted in almost any orientation - even upside-down. The threaded shaft on the pivot axis is field reversible, providing mounting access from either side. With operating speeds up to 3000 feet per minute, a wide variety of configuration options - including multiple wheel material options - and a housing made from a durable, conductive composite material that minimizes static buildup, the Model TR1 Tru-Trac® is the ideal solution for countless applications.
