Intelligent Autonomous Vehicles

Spring 2008

Intelligent autonomous vehicles are becoming increasingly important in the military’s arsenal of tools.  Autonomous systems act without human guidance and can operate in a far greater range of environments and conditions than manned vehicles.  As a result, they now play critical roles in a wide variety of operations, such as search and rescue, security patrols, littoral warfare, and both asymmetrical and conventional warfare.  Advances in communication and cooperative computing now allow coordination of multiple vehicles on land, air, and sea.
