BLUF
The Marine Corps seeks autonomous robots to assemble expeditionary airfields, reducing manual labour and risks. The project aims to develop systems capable of handling heavy mats in harsh environments, improving efficiency, safety, and deployment speed.Learning Outcomes
- Understand the operational challenges and risks of manually constructing expeditionary airfields in austere environments.
- Analyse the role of autonomous robotics in improving efficiency, safety, and speed of military infrastructure assembly.
- Evaluate the technical requirements and performance metrics for deploying robotic systems in harsh, real-world operational conditions.
