INSUBCONTINENT EXCLUSIVE:
development and experimentation services for Robotic and Autonomous Systems (RAS)The programme requires IDV to combine Unmanned Ground
Vehicles (UGVs) and Unmanned Air Systems (UAS), coordinated and orchestrated within a common advanced interoperable Command and Control (C2)
system distributed over pre-defined network nodes, to deliver integrated RAS capability in complex real-world warfighting scenarios
The concepts of operation and employment of the RAS solutions will be developed with end users through a series of operational scenarios in
order to show the game changing benefits of an integrated RAS solution.Under the leadership of IDV this challenging programme brings
together a team of leading technology suppliers from NATO countries with complementary RAS capabilities
These include IDV, with advanced land autonomy solutions including the class leading VIKING UGV and the Optionally Uncrewed Light Multirole
equipped with different mission payloads
Other than IDV, the programme also sees the participation of LEM, SIRALAB, and REBEL ALLIANCE, all leading companies in the supply of
state-of-the-art technology solutions.Experimentation with users from the Italian Army and NATO Armed Forces will prove how the systems and
architectures can generate operational advantage and mission effectiveness, efficiency and reduced risk to life, while at the same time
optimizing operational doctrines on the battlefield.Initial scenarios will include Resupply, CASEVAC and Forward MEDEVAC, Lines of
Communication Route Reconnaissance, Intelligence Surveillance, Target Acquisition and Reconnaissance (ISTAR), Manned / Unmanned Teaming
(MUM-T) Convoy and Recovery.This work aims to define RAS strategy and to outline implementation roadmaps for the introduction into service
of RAS technology.Source: Iveco Defence Vehicles S.p.A.
