Dr Robert Sadowski, Army Chief Roboticist (Robotics ST), US Army Announced to Present at Military Robotics and Autonomous Systems 2020

London, United Kingdom, March 06, 2020 –(PR.com)– The future battlefield will require greater investment into unmanned systems, such as autonomous fighting vehicles that meet reliability and survivability requirements for the modern military. Recently, the potential of autonomous combat vehicles was assessed as part of a demonstration of the Maneuver Robotics and Autonomous Systems (MRAS).

This was the first event of a three-year process that showcased the progress made in designing and using autonomous combat vehicles and unmanned aerial systems together in scenarios aimed at improving the effectiveness of ground combat formations. *

“Robotics and autonomous systems help provide a way to give us enhanced capability to the formation and provide a greater range of operations…We can use robots to do those things they do well and offset those things that humans do well.” -Dr Robert Sadowski, Army Chief Roboticist Robotics ST, US Army**

With this in mind, SMi Group’s 3rd Annual Military Robotics and Autonomous Systems Conference will reconvene on 1st -2nd April 2020 in London, UK. Delegates will have the opportunity to learn about this brand-new research and development from Dr Robert Sadowski, as well as the chance to explore topics revolving the development and enhancement of unmanned and autonomous ground systems from some of the most established organisations from around the globe.

Dr Robert Sadowski is set to discuss ‘US Army Robotics Requirements Branch: Leading the Way in Long-Term RAS Strategy’, discussing:
• The Robotics Requirements Branch and its influence on future RAS acquisitions
• Priorities for the branch to maintain the technological advantage over near-peer adversaries
• How the US Army is shaping its forces and what technological advancements will prove most valuable
