Defense, Security & Tech: NREC receives $14.4 Million AGV contract

 

TARDEC plans to add to the contract, on a work directive basis, additional effort for NREC Engineers to develop an Unmanned Ground Vehicle (UGV) end-to-end control architecture and demonstrate the viability of autonomous UGV operations in a relevant environment as part of the Robotic Vehicle Control Architecture (RVCA) program

I am interested in what autonomous UGV operations means.  The project gates for this program could be very interesting as could the specific goals for each gate. 

Will these vehicles drive themselves?  Will they be armed?  Will they have artificial intelligence?   Finally, the all important When.. When will we see them.
