A Modular Open System Approach to a Digital Autonomy Testbed

With the arrival of robotic autonomy in future Army ground combat vehicles there is an intrinsic need for modeling and simulation infrastructure for autonomy. Taking a Modular Open System Approach to designing modeling and simulation architecture facilitates creating a flexible, scalable, and adaptable infrastructure that can be applied to a wide range of scenarios to assist Army programs of record and accelerate technology maturation while providing a low-cost, efficient way to reduce program risk and ensure next-generation robotic ground vehicles provide greater value to the soldier.
