Unmanned Systems Overview Unmanned vehicles are reducing the number of lives put at risk in Iraq and Afghanistan and enabling significant increases in the information available to the warfighter. Consequently, future military plans call for increased use of unmanned ground, air, and marine vehicles. A host of civil government applications for unmanned vehicles exist as well, such as border patrol, infrastructure protection, law enforcement, forest fighting, and weather research. Commercial applications include airborne photography, agriculture monitoring, land surveying, and perhaps one day even unmanned cargo carriers. While the vehicles themselves are unmanned, humans remain in control of the vehicles and the mission. MITRE's work with unmanned systems mainly centers upon ground and air vehicles. To fully exploit this promising technology, MITRE is working closely with our sponsors to improve unmanned systems technology. Examples of projects related to this challenge area include:
