Concept of Operations is the first tool being used in capabilities approach to define military needs being very important task in the beginning of the Life Cycle Management process. The inputs to this process are defined based on the scenarios resulting from the Lessons Learned experience. It creates the technology needs for the new military systems and simultaneously the links between militaries, scientists, designers and producers. The success of missions at the very dynamic contemporary battlefield will heavily dependent on functionality engineering forces taking part in them after all at the very low level of command. The main task of engineering forces that are realized within the convoy protection mission aims at greater soldiers’ safety. The efficiency of convoy protection demands a systemic approach and the need to build the system of remote controlled Unmanned Ground Vehicles (UGV). The design of Improvised Explosive Devices (IED), after all their initiating systems, makes Explosive Ordnance Disposal (EOD) missions practically impossible to be realized by humans. The concept of systemic approach to use the remote controlled Unmanned Ground Vehicles for convoys’ protection based on Lessons Learned experiences is presented in this paper.
Contemporary battlefield is more and more demanding environment after all for soldiers but also for their equipment and machines that assist them. Looking at the last Lessons Learned experience we can conclude that the most dangerous threats met during last asymmetric warfare were Improvised Explosive Devices (IEDs). Therefore, the main focus is being done to equip UGVs with efficient engineering equipment that allows operating very quickly in very dangerous environment being exposed to health risks and loss of human life, within more and more sophisticated engineering support missions with special regard just to EOD/IED missions. The concept of such an engineering robot design is described in this paper. The EOD/IED mission support engineer robot, the attachments of the EOD/IED mission support engineer robot, removal of car bombs by means of the robot’s attachments, the EOD/IED mission support engineer robot’s ability to overcome terrain obstacles, the mission support engineer robot’s remote control panel are presented in the paper. Technological and Operational Problems Connected with UGV Application for Future Military Operations was held in Rzeszow, Poland on 20-22nd April 2015.
W artykule przedstawiono ogólną klasyfikację oraz obszary zastosowań bezzałogowych platform lądowych, przeznaczonych głównie dla odbiorcy wojskowego. Zaprezentowano projekty robotów wsparcia, które realizowane są w Katedrze Budowy Maszyn WAT lub przy jej współudziale. Omówione zostały konstrukcje dedykowane stricte wojskom inżynieryjnym oraz rozwiązania, które pełnić mają funkcje nośników różnego typu systemów lub stanowić wsparcie dla pododdziałów pieszych działających w szczególnie trudnych warunkach terenowych.

A general classification and application areas of unmanned ground vehicles (UGV), mainly for the army in this paper are presented. Described robots project for support missions, which are implemented in the Department of Mechanical Engineering WAT. Presented structures designed for military engineering and solutions that serve as carriers have features of various types of systems, or provide support for the foot soldiers operating in difficult terrain.
