Lockheed Martin's Squad Mission Support System

I had an opportunity to attend NDIA's Ground Robotics Conference last week at the Doral Resort in Miami. While in FL, I was able to spend a great deal of time with some of the nice folks at Lockheed Martin, learning more about their Squad Mission Support System (SMSS).

The SMSS will decrease the amount of time a War fighter has to spend in controlling robotic systems by providing vehicles with a greater perception of their surroundings on the battlefield. Combining perception with extraordinary mobility will allow vehicles to follow the War fighter across any terrain, guaranteeing the payload the robotic system is carrying will be available whenever and wherever the War fighter needs it. The SMSS will fill a present need for the Army’s combat operations.

The following video highlights some of the systems capabilities...
