The Robotics Division focuses on defense and security-related robotics technology. The group covers development, acquisition, application, integration and sustainment of unmanned systems to improve war fighters’ capabilities and survivability — with an emphasis on underlying technologies that will yield integrated, interoperable unmanned systems to meet present and future operational requirements. The division has their own breakout track in the Future Force Capabilities Conference & Exhibition, highlighting advances in technology that may lead to leap-ahead, autonomous robotics systems and operations. The conference’s technical discussions relate to the integration of manned and unmanned systems, and provide a forum for discussion of the challenges of meeting robotics operational requirements.
