ARV Armed Robotic Technologies Advanced Technological Objective (ART-ATO)
Under the ARV Robotics Technology (ART) Advanced Technology Objective (ATO) contract awarded by the Army's Tank-automotive and Armaments Command (TACOM), BAE Systems is integrating state-of-the-art unmanned platform technologies leveraged from Army and commercial developments into a representative Future Combat Systems (FCS) ARV platform, and will support experimentation and testing of these systems during demonstrations.
The platform demonstrators will be used by the ART program as a step toward transitioning ART technologies into the FCS ARV System Development and Demonstration effort, and to reduce risk for the ARV and MULE platforms.
Under the ART-ATO, BAE Systems will focus on tactical mission behaviors to reduce soldier operational burden and interaction, semi-autonomous perception to enhance operations in unfavorable conditions, mobility systems that match manned ground vehicle operating tempos, and survivability technologies that secure vehicles against certain threats.
