Sandia National Laboratories' Advanced Vehicle Development Department has been developing mobile robotics technologies for the US Department of Energy and the US Department of Defense since 1984. This paper describes robotic systems developed at Sandia that have military applications. These applications include reconnaissance, antiarmor, NBC detection, hazardous, inspection duty, and physical security. The cooperation of multiple vehicles has also been demonstrated at Sandia, and the military applications of this capability are reviewed. The technical approach taken with all of the systems described uses a low-cost/low-complexity philosophy, which has translated into very reliable systems. The battlefield applications of telemanagement are also discussed. Telemanagement is a ''mix'' of teleoperation and autonomous operations which relies on human interaction with semi-autonomous systems to combine the benefits of human perception and decision-making with the lower operator workloads associated with autonomous systems.
