Additional Worldwide UGV Programs

摘要

The Canadian Defense Staff is considering UGVs for its forces deployed overseas. The U.S. Joint Program Office has shown some interest in the Canadian robotic vehicle. Initially, a vehicle known as JINGOSS was developed for the Canadian United Nations contingent in Somalia for the metallic mine countermeasures mission. However, the vehicle itself could not be considered a solution to the Canadians' Yugoslav needs, due to the presence in this theater of so many nonmetallic mines and so much buried metal debris.
