The objective of the Joint Robotics Program (JRP) is to conduct research, development, acquisition and fielding within the domain of unmanned ground vehicle systems for a wide range of military applications. The program is structured to field first generation systems, mature promising technologies and then upgrade capabilities by means of an evolutionary strategy. In the near term, acquisition programs emphasize teleoperation over diverse terrain, more autonomous functioning for structured environments, and extensive opportunities for users to operate UGV's. The overall progress of the JRP is reflected in the fact that Services have identified procurement funding to buy UGVs. The author updates on the considerable progress of the JRP, which is preparing to provide the Armed Forces with a lead-ahead capability for the 21st Century.
