Singapore's Defence Science Organisation is working on an autonomous unmanned ground vehicle (UGV) and unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) teaming concept.
The V35 UAV is designed to be mounted on an unmanned ground vehicle (UGV). It is capable of vertical take off and landing, a useful capability in close terrain whether it is the jungle or an urban environment. The UAV can fly for more than 10 hours. The new system requires two persons to assemble and deploy.
Both the UAV and UGV will also be able to navigate without the use of the Global Positioning System (GPS), reducing their vulnerability to GPS jamming. The systems use navigation techniques such as light detection and ranging (LiDAR), vision sensors on the UGV, and the UAV’s satellite maps. The UGV and UAV team can navigate accurately in both jungle and urban environments.
