increased maneuverability. The addition of a second platform will enable more advanced
research in the areas of network centric warfare and cooperative engagements.
The SMART initiative in the CSS&T curriculum at NPS has the potential to
contribute greatly to the robotic capability of our expeditionary and covert forces. The
addition of the SMART initiative strongly compliments ongoing NPS research into
unmanned airborne vehicles, unmanned underwater vehicles and space-based systems.
As missions such as surveillance, mine sweeping and chemical detection become
increasingly dangerous, continued research in the area of autonomous and remotely
controlled sensing platforms will be a cornerstone in our preparation for future conflict.
