What does UGV stand for?

The enhanced facilites - based in Quinn Close at the Seven Stars Industrial Estate - will support the full range of unmanned ground vehicles including Wheelbarrow and Cutlass, the next generation vehicle being developed for the Ministry of Defence.

The company operates from primary locations in London, Fareham, Chester, Coventry, New Malden, Peterborough, RAF Waddington and Solihull and provides avionics, communications, electronic warfare systems, marine navigation systems, unmanned ground vehicle systems, C4ISR solutions and mission planning, IT systems and software development, aircraft whole life support and airport security solutions.

An Unmanned Ground Vehicle Thrust area two, the CBRN Unmanned Ground Vehicle CCUGV), focused on the integration of existing chemical and radiological detectors onto an existing robotic platform to evaluate a new capability of conducting dismounted reconnaissance in confined spaces.

reported yesterday that a fuel cell it developed allowed an unmanned ground vehicle to increase its range from 15 kilometers to 45 kilometers.

This robot, called an unmanned ground vehicle, is more commonly referred to as a "hopper" by the scientists and engineers who invented it at Sandia National Laboratories.

The FCS project originally included three robotic vehicles: the Small Unmanned Ground Vehicle, the Multifunction Utility/Logistics and Equipment (Mule) and the Armed Reconnaissance Vehicle (Arv).

As they charged toward different buildings, they sent in a camera-mounted robot, called a SUGV or small unmanned ground vehicle, to get view of what they were facing.

There are four classes of unmanned aerial vehicles, manned and unmanned ground vehicles, an infantry carrier, two assault vehicles and reconnaissance and recovery vehicles," Hulick said.
