Initial Set of Use Cases for High-Fidelity Synthetic Environment/Virtial Autonomous Navigation Environment Development Tied to Unmanned Ground Vehicle Capability Gaps; Technical rept. 1 Oct 2007-31 May 2008

摘要

To help guide alternative assessments and experiments for the development of a high fidelity synthetic environment (HFSE), an initial set of Use Cases was developed based on Capability Gaps identified in the U.S. Army/U.S. Marine Corps Ground Robotics Master Plan (Robotics Systems Joint Project Office (RS JPO), 2007). Four specific scenarios were developed in which an unmanned ground vehicle (UGV) is employed to contribute to a mission. The Use Cases are narrative descriptions of a sequence of actions a Warfighter equipped with a UGV, would undertake to accomplish a goal. The Use Cases do not identify requirements, but rather imply them in the stories they tell, leaving it up to an analyst to identify the requirements. The Use Cases avoid identifying or describing specific platforms, but rather create opportunities for analysts to identify capabilities. The Use Cases developed will provide the structure in which we can analyze both the HFSE and the UGV performance in the HFSE.
