Research abstract
In this proposal, we identify dual-use applications of self-guided navigation and systems, initially developed for commercial purposes, that can be applied to unmanned minesweeping operations. Several position sensor-aided inertial navigation systems including GPS+INS, laser+INS, RF+INS and RF/AF+INS schemes will be investigated. A combined suite of navigation systems will be designed to provide robust and accurate guidance of a high mobility unmanned ground robotic vehicle in mine detection and sweeping scenarios. The portable lightweight robotic system for mine detection operations would be capable of maneuvering itself in a rapid controlled pattern to sweep for mines in a field and recording the area that it has swept.
