The transformation of the U,S Army toward an objective force that is more lethal, survivable, sustainable, and responsive to worldwide threats will include robotic systems. The Future Combat System (FCS) and Objective Force Warrior (OFW) are two critical initiatives leading toward the Objective Force that will include robotic systems. The U.S. Army Chief of Staff General Shinseki stresses that soldiers will 'remain the centerpiece of our formations' and will be the 'heart' of the Objective Force. The U.S. Army Research Laboratory (ARL) is developing technology that supports the FCS and the soldier-centric OFW initiatives. For OFW 2010, there is an immediate need for a robotic follower within the next 2-3 years. OFW focuses on extending small team capabilities without overburdening the warrior (this will include robotic systems). This report will discuss some of the work that ARL is doing with the Land Warrior (LW) program and the OFW Program.
