EU-RESPOND
EU-RESPOND will study and experiment new ways of operations considering the use of robots in responding to CBRNE and IED neutralisation events.
The Problem: response involves deploying personnel (wearing PPE) to the "hot zone” thus exposing them to high risks to health and safety
The Opportunity: developments in robotics, sensors, automation / artificial intelligence, miniaturisation, computing power, memory-storage, communications, energy-efficiency, etc – robotic systems can replace humans in particular military tasks.
Keep humans in safe zones !

EU-RESPONDThe Proposal: Study the method and doctrine of using a URS collective to respond to a CBRNE and IED events – which missions and to what extent? Address: - existing/required URS capabilities- special needs (e.g., decontamination) / technology limitations- communications/networking/positioning requirements- supervisory/collaborative role of Human operators- cooperation strategies between URS (homogeneous / hetereogeneous)- organisational impact: personnel, logistics, environment, …- potential dual use (incl. synergies with EC security research)- standardisation - multi-mission: e.g., Search and Rescue, localisation of victimsChallenges: CBRNE/IED are Dangerous, Dirty but not Dull. It is a complex/unstructured environment. Possible Project Stages:

EU-RESPONDMilitary Exploitation:
Better understanding of the role of USRs in military operations (CBRNE and IED neutralisation missions) and its dual-use potential. The scope of the study is broad and includes the possible doctrines of use, benefits and introduction of new capabilities in CONOPS (to be addressed), equipment (sensors, actuators and communications) and standards.
Exploitation by European future defence capabilities:
•Assisting in the transformation of military forces towards more professional and smaller (workload taken by robots);
•Increasing personnel safety by deploying robots instead of humans (also dealing with an increasing media/public pressure and scrutiny);
•Increasing mission effectiveness (by obtaining higher levels of reach and deployability thanks to robots);
•Bring innovation to European Defence (by the operational use of advanced robotics systems).
•Benefit when possible from synergies with EC R&T projects
