PRIMUS

The PRIMUS (Programme of Intelligent Mobile Unmanned Systems) is an experimental program aimed to provide a robotic unmanned vehicle capable of moving autonomously off the road. Currently the PRIMUS is being tested into a Wiesel 2 air droppable armored vehicle at the German Army test range in Pfullendorf. The PRIMUS uses a 3D laser scanner, located at the vehicle's front sector, to independently identify and avoid obstacles or dangerous areas. The 3D laser scanner generates a 3D terrain map in real time to be processed by the system to calculate the most appropriate path to follow. The PRIMUS installed into a Wiesel 2 chassis has achieved a maximum cross country speed of 30 km/h and 50km/h on the road. Eventually, the PRIMUS technology is being developed to be integrated into other existing and planned armored vehicles that will operate without human crew.
