ADM 2020 concluded yesterday, and AOS was one of a substantial number of defence companies represented at the event at Canberra’s Playhouse Theatre.

These HUM-T workshops are run by the Army’s Soldier Combat System Program, and bring together Army, CASG, industry and universities to discuss the opportunities and challenges presented when introducing autonomous and robotic systems to the Army.

AOS’s Kelpie autonomous ground vehicle is about to achieve an exciting milestone. This will focus on testing the vehicle’s ability to detect and manoeuvre around obstacles that would typically be encountered “airside” on an airbase.

AOS recently completed the development of a proof-of-concept for AI-based decision aid, the Intelligent Battlespace Advisor (IBA), to support ASOPs. This is another step towards the practical application of AI Software Agents in Air and Missile Defence. Defence Connect has more details.

AOS, as one of the very early partners in the Australia and New Zealand Driverless Vehicle Initiative or ADVI, attended this on Thursday 30th May at ARRB’s new headquarters in Fishermens Bend.

AOS will be developing next generation of Intelligent Software Agent technology with Australian Defence Department funding.

The Kelpie vehicle departs Avalon on Sunday. AOS is now preparing Kelpie for the next round of obstacle avoidance testing, jointly with the Australian Centre for Robotic Vision.

AOS is demonstrating the capabilities of the laser and cameras on its Kelpie™ AGV.
