Over the past 20 years, Defence Research and Development Canada has developed numerous teleoperated unmanned ground vehicles (UGV), many founded on the ANC?US command and control system. This paper relates how long experience with tele-operated UGVs influenced DRDC's shift in focus from tele-operated to autonomous unmanned vehicles (UV), the forces that guided DRDC's development approach and DRDC's experience adapting a specific tool set, MIRO, to a UGV implementation.
