Abstract

Intelligent Automation, Inc. proposes to build and test a scaled amphibious microrover fitted with a unique navigational system and demonstrates its ability in conducting tactical warfighting capabilities. Penn State ARL will, as a subcontractor, prototype the micro acoustical sensors and assist in algorithms used in the scheme. The proposed Amphibious vehicle will have a navigational system with two integrated levels of functionality, micro (obstacle avoidance) and macro (point to point) navigation, and will have both on board and groundstation processing capabilities. The vehicle will operate on smooth surfaces at high speed and have rugged terrain and amphibious capabilities due to its unique propulsion system.
