The goal of the Demo III program for experimental unmanned vehicles (XUVs) is to develop and integrate technologies to provide a vehicle platform with autonomous capabilities. The platform allows for the integration of modular mission packages in the battlefield. The mission package provides the capability to conduct reconnaissance, surveillance and target acquisition (RSTA) functions while both stationary and on the move. It includes a variety of sensor technologies along with signal and image processing capabilities to perform the RSTA mission. The paper describes goals for the Demo III RSTA mission package, discusses the types of sensors being considered for platform integration, and summarizes the RSTA related aspects of the recently awarded integration contract. Processing and algorithm capabilities required for the XUV to perform RSTA in an autonomous fashion, such as aided target recognition and motion detection, are also discussed.
