ABOUT CUGS
The Combat Unmanned Ground Systems (CUGS) project, managed by the European Defence Agency, is a prime example of how European countries and companies collaborate to create exceptional solutions. CUGS aims to choose and adapt 3 different categories of platforms, and to define, design and develop a set of functional modules which will be articulated in full demonstrators for highly autonomous combat unmanned ground systems. The platforms and functional modules will provide solutions for:
- Navigation
- Communications, command and control (C3), and cooperation (including secure C3 for firing chain)
- Effector management.
These systems can move, communicate, and engage targets independently, making military operations safer and more efficient. Deploying unmanned systems reduces the danger to human personnel and manned platforms while increasing the robustness, sustainability, and resilience of ground systems.
It involves nine countries and 28 industry partners from across Europe.
