Abstract

This paper presents the application of the agent-based multimethod simulation approach to the development of the Unmanned Ground Vehicle(UGV) simulation testbed prototype to support both concept exploration and the performance-based requirement analysis of future UGVs. We describe the UGV simulation testbed prototype (UGVSimp) incorporating 1) UGV mission scenario, 2) the operational concepts of UGVs with the automation level, such as the autonomous unmanned operation, the autonomous manned operation with human operators, and the autonomous autocontrolled operation with Command and Control(C2), 3) UGV functionality, including move, fire, rescue, 4) operator’s task processes constrained by the automation level, human resources(visual, auditory, cognition, psychomotor), and the associated human machine interface of the control station. Furthermore, we show some experimental results for the UGV’s competing operational concepts for the three cases(autonomous unmanned, autonomous manned, autonomous autocontrolled), using UGVSimp.
