UAS ROADMAP 2005 APPENDIX J: UNMANNED GROUND VEHICLES JOINT ROBOTICS PROGRAM (JRP) Origins and UGV Focus In 1990, at the direction of the Senate Appropriations Committee, the Office of the Secretary of Defense (OSD) consolidated all of the Services’ Unmanned Ground Vehicle (UGV) projects into the Joint Robotics Program (JRP). The consolidation allowed OSD to focus the efforts in a single point of responsibility for the management of funding, to coordinate technology thrusts for research and development, to identify and resolve common issues, and to leverage the synergy of the projects. OSD was expected to provide policy and program direction. The FY1990 language stated that OSD should oversee a consolidated program, concentrate on establishing definitive, robotics operational requirements and pursue critical technologies to satisfy these requirements. In FY2003, Congress reaffirmed the program direction and continuing OSD oversight by providing an additional $24 M in funding and emphasizing the need to “expeditiously test, produce, and field technologically mature robots and other unmanned vehicles for use in combat.” In FY2004, Congress added $12.6 M in additional funding to sustain and accelerate program objectives (see Figure J-1). FY2005 Congressional adds showed continued interest in unmanned systems by increasing the President’s Budget by $30 M to $55 M. Additionally, Congress, through the FY2005 Authorization, required that OSD report on the need for one or more national centers of excellence for unmanned aircraft and ground vehicles, further reinforcing their interest in the long term infrastructure investment strategy of OSD.

Program Structure The current management structure of the JRP is shown below in Figure J-2. The JRP stresses cooperation among program managers (who represent all four Services), the elimination of duplicative efforts, and ensures information sharing among the geographically dispersed offices.

JRP MANAGEMENT STRUCTURE. UGVs in Joint Warfighting and Transformation The Services have recognized a critical warfighting role for both current and future unmanned ground systems. More robotic systems are being deployed today than ever before and the trend continues to rise. Service transformation plans, as well as current operations in the Global War on Terror (GWOT) feature unmanned systems prominently. The Services continue to develop overarching warfighting concepts that depend on unmanned systems (air, ground, marine) working collaboratively to achieve success on tomorrow’s battlefields. These systems, as articulated in the programs below, are envisioned to contribute to increased mission effectiveness and are planned for integration into Service force structures: � Joint Service – Man-Transportable Robotic System (MTRS) � Army – Future Force: Future Combat Systems (FCS) � Marines/Navy – Autonomous Operations: Gladiator Tactical Unmanned Ground Vehicle (TUGV) � Air Force – Air Expeditionary Warfare: Robotics for Agile Combat Support and the Airborne Explosive Ordnance Disposal Concept The GWOT has created urgent and compelling worldwide requirements for UGVs. The JRP is responding to the UGV requirements by deploying unmanned countermine, Explosive Ordnance Disposal (EOD), and reconnaissance systems to support our troops in the Balkans and in Operations ENDURING FREEDOM and IRAQI FREEDOM. Prototype and fielded UGVs participated in and are essential tools in completing dangerous missions in support of our forces in Afghanistan and in Iraq. As our forces in Iraq have transitioned to counter-insurgency operations, requirements for UGVs to assist in neutralizing Improvised Explosive Devices (IEDs) have increased dramatically. The JRP is meeting the needs around the globe with a combination of All-purpose Remote Transport Systems (ARTS), Remote Ordnance Neutralization Systems (RONS), Mini-Flails, Panthers, prototypes, and commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) systems, including over 200 new systems to Central Command in FY2004 alone. These systems are providing the Services with unmanned force protection, EOD, and countermine capabilities.
