PROGRAM SCOPE Design, Build and Test 2 Vehicles with alternative forms of energy MULE Purpose: Evaluate energy demands and packaging restraints to traverse rough terrain and carry a load 1-ton, Diesel / Electric Hybrid with alternative forms of hybrid energy 30 mph on improved roads; Silent Propulsion at 4 mph, 20 minutes Sensing and communication capabilities UGV Purpose: Evaluate needs and demands of communication module, sensor suite and data fusion equipment 9/17/2018

COOPERATIVE AGREEMENT YEAR 1 Define requirements and produce a detailed design List of specifications of all components Detailed budget for all components YEAR 2 Build and test MULE and UGV List of costs to build Furnish test data MTU/KRC path forward requires purchasing UGV equipment in Year 1 9/17/2018

PATH FORWARD Parallel Path with UGV allowing development while MULE is designed and built UGV KRC’s existing UGV will be used for Mobility Control development Deployment of Mission Equipment Packages (sensor suites and/or alternative fuel auxiliary power – subject to payload restrictions) Evaluate needs and demands of communication module, sensor suite, and data fusion equipment – Measure and record power use MULE Diesel / electric hybrid vehicle Off-road mobility and payload capacity for military applications Silent Propulsion capabilities with alternative energy sources (Year 2) Utilize Control Hardware from UGV 9/17/2018

LIMITATIONS BASED ON TIME and FUNDING UGV Need to immediately start using existing vehicle for information gathering for power requirements of sensors and mobility control development (teleop) No changes in existing power plant or propulsion system Alternative fuel power only as payload for auxiliary power (DIPI) Available as platform for other Mission Equipment Packages MULE Need to design and develop basic electric propulsion off-road vehicle Ability to add Alternative Fuel Power as selected in future Use Mobility Control hardware developed on UGV Use sensor suites developed on UGV 9/17/2018

NEED NAME FOR LARGER UGV A “MULE-LIKE” vehicle MULE is trademark of Lockheed Martin and defined by FCS This is a Technology Demonstrator / Research Tool / Development Platform For the 2.5-ton class of military robotic vehicles designed to transport the volume and payload of equipment and supplies for two squads.
