SRS Background: The Standardized Robotic System (SRS) was originally developed under a Small Business Innovative Research (SBIR) program. The SRS is a kit that provides teleoperation capability to virtually any land vehicle. The UGV/S JPO passed a Milestone 0 (MS0) decision on 24 July 1996, by the Commander, Redstone Arsenal, AL. The SRS program is currently in the Engineering and Manufacturing Development phase. The SRS Engineering and Manufacturing Development (EMD) program is leading to the type classification and fielding of the SRS for several USA MANSCEN vehicles. The SRS is being developed with a family of common components or line replaceable units (LRUs) that can be utilized on many different platforms with minimal new development efforts. The SRS is transparent to the vehicle operator while the vehicle is being operated manually. These kits are being hardened for use in standard military environments. |
