BAE SYSTEMS Displays Armed Robotic Demonstrator at AUSA.ARLINGTON, Va. -- BAE Systems BAE Systems British manufacturer of aircraft, missiles, avionics, naval vessels, and other aerospace and defense products. BAE Systems was formed (1999) from the merger of British Aerospace (BAe) with Marconi Electronic Systems. is displaying an Armed Robotic Demonstrator dem·on·stra·tor n. 1. One that demonstrates, such as a participant in a public display of opinion. 2. An article or product used in a demonstration. demonstrator Noun 1. at the Association of the U.S. Army's 2005 Annual Meeting and Exposition this week in Washington to illustrate the synergy between current and future forces. The demonstrator is an early prototype of an armed robotic vehicle equipped with operative turret components from the Bradley Combat Systems program. The Armed Robotic Demonstrator can be controlled from the operator's station in the back of a manned system - illustrated from the crew compartment compartment a part of the body as a whole and divided from the rest by a physical partition. fluid compartment that liquid part of the body excluded by cell membranes.

Gun and turret position, as well as information from a Commander's Independent Viewer (CIV JUS AQUAEDUCTUS, CIV. law. The name of a servitude which Lives to the owner of land the right to bring down water through or from the land of another, either from its source or from any other place. 2. ), and the Improved Bradley Acquisition System (IBAS) can be seen on a screen in the Bradley. "As soldiers dismount, they take a Dismounted Control Device (DCD (Document Content Description) An XML schema language from Textuality, Microsoft and IBM that is implemented as an RDF vocabulary. It supports data typing and schema reuse and is the successor to XML-Data. See XML schema, RDF and XML. ) along, and continue to operate the Armed Robotic Demonstrator, receiving information on the single screen on the DCD," said Steve Hammond, BAE Systems project manager for the Armed Robotic Demonstrator. The Armed Robotic Demonstrator displays the existing robotic technologies available for use by today's forces. The Armed Robotic Demonstrator provides an immediate system to illustrate advanced robotic technologies, and provide engineers a hands-on prototype to assist in their design efforts. As the components for robotic vehicles are designed and built, they will be substituted for these Bradley components. The Armed Robotic Demonstrator is equipped with advanced capability - leveraging some of the proven capabilities available on the Bradley by utilizing robust, existing components. These components provide the demonstrator with the high lethality obtained with the first-round hit, and the ability for the turret to slew to a cue from the Commander's Independent Viewer. Planned enhancements include advanced robotic technology for autonomous mobility. This capability allows the Armed Robotic Demonstrator to plan routes, maneuver on the planned route, and avoid obstacles - all without operator intervention. BAE Systems is an international company engaged in the development, delivery, and support of advanced defense and aerospace systems in the air, on land, at sea, and in space. The company designs, manufactures, and supports military aircraft, combat vehicles, surface ships, submarines, radar, avionics avionics (ā'vēŏn`ĭks), electronic instruments used in air or space flight; also the design and production of such instruments. Early planes had few instruments, but as aviation and aircraft became more complex, so did instrumentation. , communications, electronics, and guided weapon systems. |
