Carpe OccasioTechnology Systems (COTS) Unmanned and Robotics Systems Interoperability A Woman-Owned Small Business Carpe Occasio Technology Systems Seize the Moment!
Bottom Line Up FrontNext-Gen SOA • “Hybrid Engine” provides end-to-end solution • Complementary Technology for Real-Time and Non-Real-Time (e.g. Web environment) • Extremely high performance • Ideal for situations requiring minimal latency and synchronization of activity/function • Developed automatic code generation for operational environments • Allows systems to be brought online in days • Quickly integrate systems of different types • Both legacy and new systems
Unmanned and Robotics System Interoperability • Intra-system – component level interoperability issues (to enable interchangeable parts within an unmanned system) • Inter-system – interoperability between different unmanned or robotic systems, which are required for such systems to cooperate and perform complex missions in the battlespace, or disaster space • Interaction with manned systems – unmanned and robotics systems must interoperate with a wide variety of manned platforms, weapons systems, and C4ISR systems • Interaction with personnel “on scene” – whether first responders in a civil emergency, troops operating/working in theater or combat, etc., and in a wide variety of situations such as logistical support, casualty evacuation, manned/unmanned combined arms operations, etc.
Sample Problems • Robotics Systems for First Responders – developing a robotic platform that can complete different missions, and have different interchangeable functional components – such as an arm for explosive ordinance disposal, or an arm that can open door handles and locks • Protection and Physical Security – UV Sentry – fleet force protection using unmanned systems (or an unmanned road-side check-point that can visually and chemically examine a vehicle, identify faces, etc.) • Battlefield Extraction of the Wounded – for example the Nightingale II concept, which uses unmanned and robotics systems to perform this task

Unmanned and Robotics System Interoperability Challenges • Standards (e.g. JAUS, STANAG 4586, et.al.) • Software enables both JAUS andSTANAG 4586 • Multi-Robot Control • Enhanced Human/Robot Interaction and Teaming • 3-D Map Visualization • Near-Autonomous UxV Systems • Intelligent Mobility • Obstacle Avoidance • Data Links • Cognitive Science Application to Operator Training and Performance
Summary • Our technology is all about: • Reducing robotics and unmanned system development costs • Improving the capability of robotic and unmanned systems • Bringing together both people and technology is our goal
