Robotic and Autonomous Construction Equipment (RA-CE)

The objective of this RFI is to assess the current state of commercially available remote and autonomous technologies that can be integrated with existing construction equipment platforms to enable remote and autonomous operation for combat engineering missions. The U.S. Army is seeking information from OEMs and other technology providers regarding solutions that can retrofit or be integrated with medium dozers, High Mobility Engineer Excavators (HMEE), and skid steer loaders. Additionally, the Army is interested in site reconnaissance and surveying capabilities provided by unmanned aerial systems (UASs) and unmanned ground vehicles (UGVs), as well as mobile or compact command and control solutions.
