Ammunition Waste Collection and Disposal Unmanned Platform
Pays a single contractor to build a semi-autonomous robotic platform that finds and disposes of leftover ammunition on former military training grounds and battlefields.
Ammunition Waste Collection and Disposal Unmanned Platform is a single-stage European Defence Fund development action that pays a single contractor to build a semi-autonomous robotic platform able to locate, identify and safely destroy ammunition waste and unexploded residues across large training and battlefield areas without a soldier close by. The system pairs adaptive hardware with a semi-auto…
The European Commission wants a prototype system that can locate, identify and safely destroy ammunition waste and unexploded residues across large training and battlefield areas without a soldier close by. It's looking for adaptive hardware paired with a semi-autonomous control system that keeps learning and gets better at spotting and clearing hazards as it covers more ground.
