A substantial amount of work on unmanned systems is being performed in the Army labs at Redstone Arsenal. With unmanned systems becoming increasingly integrated in the current and future forces, this work is an essential element to that transformation. This briefing will present the current and recent efforts of Redstone's Unmanned Systems Joint Technology Center/Systems Integration Lab.
