Army Warfighting Experiment 24: Level B Experiment – Urban Analysis
July 12, 2024 by websir
5C Consulting lead a consortium at this year’s AWE24 Level B Experiment down in Cornwall, UK. It is a pleasure to lead the collaboration of SME companies, utilising true experimental time in the field with UK MOD support and feedback.
Working closely with the British Army to experiment with a highly capable 30 MPH unmanned platform, we have integrated a number of sub systems to provide full situational awareness of the urban environment and the hazards within surface and sub-surface.
Tele-operations at a significant distance has been an invaluable learning experience. We are indebted to our technology partners, MI Robotics for the provision of the Agito and Bigfoot UGVs, Leica Geosystems part of Hexagon for the 3D mobile mapping capability BLK_ARC, Symetrica and Redara Labs Inc. for terrain mapping with the VeriFinder CBRN sensor all tied into our Mesh Radios provided by Domo Tactical Communications (DTC). We have set an ambitious target for ionoco to encrypt and stream all sensor outputs to a single command node.
