This platform demonstrator has developed, integrated and tested next generation Unmanned Ground Vehicle (UGV) mobility technologies such as hybrid electric drive systems, advanced suspension systems, thermal management systems, and UGV safety systems. It is capable of reaching speeds up to 50 miles per hour and performing maneuvers at those speeds. The APD is the integration platform for the Robotic Vehicle Control Architecture (RVCA) and Safe Operations of Unmanned Systems for Reconnaissance in Complex Environments (SOURCE) Army Technology Objectives (ATO). The vehicle achieved first drive in early August 2009 and has logged over 4300 kilometers since. The APD underwent an intensive schedule of developmental and mobility testing tightly coupled with experimentation for the RVCA ATO. Testing has culminated with a Soldier Operational Exercise 2.0 conducted in the 4th quarter of Fiscal Year 10 at Fort Hood.
