Several potential applications of coherent optics in the field of topographic mapping have been identified.' This paper outlines the motivation for applying coherent optics to topographic mapping, presents some additional applications not included in Ref.
A historical summary of the Army activities in artificial intelligence and robotics (AI /R) in the last one and one -half years indicates Army interest in AI /R from the laboratories to the Secretariat. Numerous funded and unfunded efforts are now planned by the laboratories even though AI /R technologies lack maturity necessary for autonomous battlefield systems in the 1990's.The potential applications of AI /R systems to Army needs appear to be limitless.DARCOM and TRADOC have prioritized AI /R requirements and plans for five high priority Demonstrators have been prepared. These demonstrators reflect the need to get started with todays technologies. Technological enhancements provided by additional research and development can provide additional autonomy in product improvement phases of the system development cycle.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
