This event enabled the Army to gain valuable insight in how best to utilize robotic vehicles in combat. And furthered its ongoing Campaign of Learning around RCV development.
During the exercise, Soldiers from the 1st Battalion (Airborne), 509th Infantry, known as Geronimo, used two Project Origin vehicles surrogates in a simulated battle with the 3/101st (Air Assault). The Origin vehicles are an Army Development Command Ground Vehicle Systems Center prototyping effort. Then provides the Army with the ability to conduct rapid technology and autonomous behavior integration that Soldiers assess during multiple touchpoints each year.
While on-site engineers and technicians collected technical data. The Soldiers in the field further validated the combat benefits of adding robots to a manned-unmanned teamed formation. Then identified new capabilities desired for the next Project Origin Soldier operational experiment.
“With these units, the human survivability rate increases significantly,” explained Sergeant 1st Class Eugene Lackey (Pathfinder Company). “This system allowed us to close with and destroy the enemy safely from a distance. It [also enabled] us to find the enemy before he could find us. It is a great tool and I wish we could have it for a little bit longer to really see how we can change the way wars are fought.”
