DESCRIPTION
The Common Robotic System – Individual (CRS(I)) enables
dismounted forces to individually provide a capability for lower-level
Reconnaissance, Surveillance and Target Acquisition Units to enhance
maneuvers and force protection.
CRS(I) establishes the Army’s common small-base platform with a
lightweight (less than 25 pounds), highly mobile, unmanned robotic
system that includes standard payloads, advanced sensors and mission
modules for dismounted forces. The system is designed to be quickly
reconfigured for various missions by adding or removing modules
or payloads.
The CRS(I) system includes a Universal Controller (UC) that has the
ability to achieve and maintain active or passive control of any current
Army or Marine Corps Program of Record (battalion and below), as well
as any unmanned (air or ground) system or its respective payload. The
UC will have the ability to control the Puma, Raven, Man Transportable
Robot System Increment 2 and Ground Sensor System.
BENEFIT TO THE WARFIGHTER
CRS(I) is ideal for clearing buildings, caves and other restricted terrain
where close-quarters combat is likely. CRS(I) identifies enemy positions,
explosive hazards and civilians without exposing the warfighter.
