System 1
a.System name Carry-all Modular Equipment Landrover (CaMEL)
b.Date of development 2013
c.Developer Northrop Grumman
d.System operating environment operates in the most desolate corners of our planet, can be operated on almost any land terrain
e.System purpose can quickly transform from supporting troops to protecting troops as an armed wing man, increasing the firepower of dismounted platoon and company maneuver units. Hybrid motorized robot that can carry a half a ton of cargo across nearly any terrain.
f.How or why was the unmanned system created? What were the motivating factors that prompted its creation?

Carry-all Modular Equipment Landrover (CaMEL)
a.Development and operation dates- Developed in 2013 and operated by mainly military
b.System developer- Developed by Northrop Grumman
c.System users need 2.5 days of operator / maintenance training at training facility in Oak Ridge, TN and are military personnel
d.System environment operates in the most desolate corners of our planet, can be operated on almost any land terrain
e.System task a multi functional platform that can quickly transform from supporting troops to protecting troops as an armed wing man, increasing the firepower of dismounted platoon and company maneuver units. Hybrid motorized robot that can carry a half a ton of cargo across nearly any terrain.
f.System energy source Exports 2 kW of power to recharge batteries or run additional sensors
Power Supply: Diesel engine hybrid; 24V DC battery pack
System battery can be charged via NATO slave adapter off of any military vehicle in under 2 hours
1/4-turn connectors: Easy connect/disconnect
g.System communication Control functions: Can be used in different modes like tethered, wireless, follow me and wagon train (multiple systems follow each other)
h.System information processing uses sensors so that it doesn't hit anything when running automatically
