Main_Body_Multi:
Unmanned Ground Vehicles (UGVs) are becoming increasingly relevant in the modern battle-space. Interoperability standards development will accelerate NATO Nations’ advance of unmanned ground systems through the development of hardware and software. These will act as a ‘pool’ of matured and evaluated interoperable systems and subsystems that perform a specific set of functionalities, leveraging common software middle-ware(s) that are supported and used by a large community, and, thus, offering vast amounts of functionalities. The main purpose of IST-149 RTG was to investigate possible standards for controlling UGVs from Operator Control Units (OCUs), receiving data back, and then testing them in a real world scenario. This RTG aimed to plan and implement a capability concept demonstrator (CCD) to leverage these standards and validate the compatibility chain from the acquisition of ISR data on the UGV up to the end user terminal of a C2 system. This activity not only successfully achieved the planning and implementation of the CCD, but also identified related NATO activities and other potential collaborators. The trials showed that it is possible to extend the systems quite easily and achieve compliance with parts of the standard in a relatively short time. The report, which describes the research and experiment efforts of IST-149, is available on the
