UGCV PerceptOR
Integration (UPI)
Overview

The UPI program builds upon the success of UGCV and PerceptOR to improve the speed, reliability, and autonomy of unmanned ground vehicles.

UPI combines the mobility and ruggedness of the Crusher vehicles with advanced perception, autonomy and learning techniques.  The program stresses system design across vehicles, sensors and software, so that each component’s strengths compensates for another’s weakness.

As a Future Combat Systems (FCS) technology feed program, the UPI program’s results are advancing work on other autonomous vehicle programs including the Armed Reconnaissance Vehicle (ARV) and the Autonomous Navigation System. (ANS).
