4. AMAS Technical Objectives • Purpose: • To provide today’s military vehicles with an optionally manned capability to increase safety and provide the Warfighter with additional flexibility in how assets and personnel are deployed under a variety of missions and conditions. AMAS will be integrated onto military vehicles by developing, integrating and demonstrating: • A vehicle kit to control the physical actuation of a vehicle called the By-Wire/Active Safety kit. This kit is unique to each type of vehicle platform, based on differing hardware requirements. • A common, appliqué Autonomy kit that will contain the primary intelligence and autonomous decision making. This Autonomy kit will be common across all vehicle platforms, designed to function and inter-operate regardless of type of vehicle platform installed on. • Products: • Autonomy Kit: Autonomous Hardware and Sensors • By-Wire Kit: Vehicle specific devices to retrofit current fleet • Common Interfaces and Architecture • Autonomous Testing Methodologies and Procedures • Payoff: • Increased Operational Efficiency and Effectiveness • Improved Situational Awareness • Increased Driver Safety (reduce accidents/rollover avoidance) • Improved Operations in no/limited visibility conditions

5. AMAS Vehicles Technology Demonstration 1 BWASK Only • M915 • Used in commercial trucking • MTVR • Primary mover for Marines • MATV • Supporting OCP TEC-D Added at Technology Demonstration 2 • PLS • Multiple steering axles • Primary mover for retrograde • FMTV • Well understood dynamics • Workhorse for short missions • HET • Significantly larger with different dynamics profile • Trailer • RG-31 • Additional controls for the mine roller unit

6. Technical Demonstration 1 Testing • Purpose: Testing the functionality of the By Wire Active Safety Kit. • Importance: BWASK is the foundation that AMAS is built on. Provides the safety critical real time monitoring of robotic functionally of the Autonomy Kit • Dates: 15 - 25 July 2013 • Location: Savannah River Site, South Carolina • Platforms: 2 MTVRs and 2 M915 w/trailer • Loads: 0% or 100% • Testing: Conducted by the Assessment IPT, with stakeholder representation from TARDEC, RS-JPO, CASCOM, USMC, TRANSCOM and CENTCOM • The Demonstration Plan One (DP1), which formed the basis of testing, was developed by cross-walking, line by line, the requirements from the By Wire Active Safety Kit (BWASK) Software Requirement Specification document • The DP1 was developed at TARDEC and each testing vignette was reviewed and approved by the Assessment IPT

System is powered for data logging purposes • Lane Departure Warning • Lane Keeping Assist • Pedestrian Detection

9. TD-1 Test Coverage and Results • Tested all BWASK Modes: System Off, Manual Driver, Driver Warning, and Driver Assist • All vehicles and systems were available to complete testing • Test and Safety communities were able to gain experience with the systems and test methodologies • Good feedback from stakeholders on slight changes to how the system operates. • Some adjustments were made on the spot, for example Hill Decent Control, and reviewed. • Other functions, like Collision Mitigation Braking and Emergency Braking Assist, will require additional review.

10. TD1 Test Coverage & Results • System Off and Manual Driver modes showed that the system behaved as if AMAS were not installed • DA/DW functions tested: 16 of 17 • Pedestrian Detection, not tested due to time constraints
