General Dynamics Robotic Systems Visit

This is a little bit of late post, but on May 21st  General Dynamics Robotic Systems (GDRS) was generous enough to invite us to there to there facilities to take a tour and present our designs to some of there engineers. Among other projects GDRS is currently involved developing  Unmaned Surface Vehicle's (USV) for submarine warfare, and an  Autonomous Navigation System (ANS) for the Army's FCS ground vehicles.

Engineers working on those projects reviewed design presentations given by both our AUV and AGV groups. They provided lots of useful feedback to both teams that will be folded into some of this years work, but it will mostly be applied to next years designs. After the design reviews GDRS was nice enough to provide us lunch and give us a tour of there testing and integration center, prototype USV vehicle, ANS development building, and finally a demo of there ANS system in action.
