22. PROBLEM Insufficient realism and flexibility of static and rail-based targets. BENEFITS OF ROVER SOLUTION • Realistic & challenging training • Targets have human-like size, shape, speed, and motion • Responsive behavior • Mannequin drops when shot; other targets run for cover • Labor-saving • Single instructor for a team of targets, no joystick required • Minimum infrastructure • No rails or magnets; targets are portable • Flexible usage • Infinite number of possible training scenarios Rover A unique robotic target system for live-fire training TECHNOLOGY • Navigation, positioning & obstacle avoidance • Sensors: GPS and laser range scanner • State-of-the-art software • Robotic platform • COTS Segway, balancing on 2 wheels • Armour • 5mm ARMOX600 from the waist down • Computer & communication • COTS motherboard; high-speed wireless Ethernet • Hit sensing • Acoustic sensors capable of discriminating between head and body shots • Command & Control • Graphical User Interface running on a PC BACKGROUND • Manufacturer • Marathon Robotics Pty Ltd www.marathon-robotics.com • Based in Sydney, Australia • System usage today • System was developed in close conjunction with the Australian Defence Force (ADF) • A system of 8 targets is deployed at a training facility in Western Australia

23. Marathon Robotics is displaying its free-ranging live-fire target system, "Rover". Rover is a robotic target which emulates human motion. Autonomous operation allows the targets to move in and out of buildings, out of line-of- sight, going anywhere a person could go. Compared to static pop-ups or rail- based targets, Rover provides a step-change in realistic and challenging training, while keeping infrastructure requirements to a bare minimum. With the Rover system, a single instructor can conduct complex long-duration scenarios with multiple targets. No need to use a joystick - just give the command and off they go, following a pre-orchestrated scenario while reporting their positions back to instructors in real-time. When a target is shot, it provides instant visual feedback by stopping and dropping its mannequin. It simultaneously sends a message to other targets, who can react by running for cover.

25. Metal Storm- a developer of a fast deployment technology that is currently in consideration by the US Marines and others.  The technology is best known for the electronically initiated weapon systems that have variable rates of fire and no moving parts except the munitions.  Metal Storm products are now in consideration with the US Army and Marine Corps as well as requested by other allied armed forces.
