  1. “Improving Moving Marksmanship” Marathon Robotics April 12, 2010

  2. What Requirement are we Addressing?Improving Moving Marksmanship “Hitting a target going 10 mph is very hard “ Collateral Benefits: • Enhanced hostage simulation training • Improving ‘escalation of force’ decision-making Recently selected for ~$2 M FCT [Foreign Comparative Test]

  3. Developed in Conjunction with Australian Defense Forces • Deployed in 2008 on sniper range – Western Australia

  4. Two years of feedback from ADF • Improves moving marksmanship • Training more realistic and unpredictable

  5. Autonomous Robots Networked for Live-Fire Training [ARNLT]

  6. The Current ARNLT project • Selected by Orlando MARCORSYSCOM for testing this year • Final negotiations in Sydney this week • Potential for others to obtain robots through a follow-on contract

  7. Next 60 Days: ARNLT: Exhibitions and demonstrations • SOFEX: Amman May 10-13 • ITEC: London May 18-20 • EUROSATORY: Paris June 14-18

  8. The Next Step:Off-road ARNLT • Unpaved ranges • Ranges with rolling terrain • Faster speed

  9. Summary • Goal: Improve Moving Marksmanship & Enhance Training Realism • Possibly the first autonomous ground robots deployed by US DoD • Contract with MARCORSYSCOM under DOD FCT Program in final negotiations • If tests successful, robots could be available to other agencies • Marathon wishes to learn of SOCOM user requirements & support innovative applications
