Many military applications will benefit from the use of unmanned vehicles. However communication realities have limited the effectiveness of the current direct teloperated vehicles. One solution is to increase the on-board autonomy of the vehicle. While this does reduce the communication requirements, the level of machine intelligence is not sufficient to insure operation in extreme situations. Proposed is a shared control solutions that is a synergistic partnership of on-board autonomy and the superior cognitive capabilities of the remote operator. This paper describes work at the Defence Research Establishment Suffield (DRES) in teleoperated vehicles, autonomous control systems and discusses the issues and benefits of shared control of military vehicles.
