Remote Control
Program (RCP)
Remote Control Vehicles, 3D Tele-Operated
Vehicles, Unmanned Target Vehicles, Leader-Follower Resupply,
GPS Tracking & Navigation.
The Remote Control Program (RCP) group specializes in automation and remote
control of any type of vehicle for use in automated routing, teleoperated
control, programmed maneuvers, and asset tracking. These systems can
be used in hazardous situations, such as mine clearing, HAZMAT operations,
bomb squad, and avalanche/mudslide road clearing; in weapon exercises
for testing or training with actual unmanned target vehicles; for
GPS control and tracking of vehicles or other assets; and for repetitive
operation resupply in port or other areas where manpower is limited.
Remote-operated vehicles can be outfitted with 3D view, pan/tilt,
and audio attachments to give the remote driver an "in the vehicle"
feel, and the system gives the operator superior control capability
for vehicles, earth-moving equipment, and robots. The system
is easily adapted to almost any vehicle or application, and does not
interfere with normal use of the automated vehicle by a driver.
Our Mission
We outfit ground
vehicles with remote operating systems for either direct, joystick-style,
or fully autonomous operation. Our services range from custom designs
for new vehicles to routine fabrication, installation, maintenance, and
repair. We also provide complete and reliable support for weapons testing
programs. We have been supporting tests at major ranges since
1979 and have hands-on experience
in range operations under extreme conditions.
We currently provide
three vehicle control systems:
K-DRIVTM a line-of-sight
(LOS) system, K-VIEWTM a teleoperated system for direct control of individual vehicles, and K-PATHTM an autonomous system for control of multiple vehicles along pre-programmed
or "free-play" paths using differential GPS for navigation.
Vehicles operating autonomously have detour capability around disabled
vehicles. Position is tracked via K-TRACTM
and passed to K-PATHTM.
