Laying the groundwork for a next generation trusted autonomous capability

BAE Systems Australia and Trusted Autonomous Systems (TAS) have moved a step closer to delivering a next generation autonomous capability for the Australian Army.

The companies recently completed a four-year research and demonstration program during which they developed an advanced Artificial Intelligence (AI) system that could be used in uncrewed ground vehicles (UGV).

The TAGVIEW (Trusted Autonomous Ground Vehicles in Electronic Warfare) system would allow multiple UGVs to operate simultaneously to carry out mission objectives while identifying and evading potential threats.

Modular in design, and integrated with BAE Systems’ autonomous Vehicle Management System, TAGVIEW will be compatible with a range of different UGVs. It can feature a range of technologies, including optic cameras, LiDaR (Light Detection and Ranging) and internal navigation and route planning systems, making it easier for the user to control.

During the demonstration phase, TAGVIEW was installed on several M113 Optionally Crewed Combat Vehicles (OCCVs) and put through its paces in a series of planned relocation, logistical and sweep search missions.
