Unmanned Systems

SMT has developed systems which allow almost any vehicle to be readily converted to a remote-control or autonomous capable platform. Fully integrated systems allow for engine start, headlight, gear select, differential, handbrake and other systems to be controlled through a single remote. Developed to send assets forward for reconnaissance or to support recovery of units SMT can deliver this capability for its own and other platforms.

Suitable for commercial and defence applications SMT has developed 2 levels of telemetry systems offering high band (supporting HD video) width up to 1km or low bandwidth up to 10km. Alternative communication systems can be supported depending upon customer demands.

Remote Operator

Removes the need for operators within the vehicle environment providing greater operational effectiveness and reduced risk. One remote driver can control multiple platforms.

Retains Vehicle Controls

SMT adopts an overlay approach allowing normal vehicle functionality and drivability to be maintained supporting quick transition between driver driven and remote capable functionality.

Wide Applications

The remote capable system has been reviewed across a range of industrial and defence environments from mining vehicles to remote cranes and tactical vehicles.

Safe by Design

Following common functional safety standards on-vehicle processing ensures safe operation is maintained in the event of lost communications. System response can be configured by the customer based upon the operating conditions.

Cross Platform Flexibility

Common control system can be adopted across many different vehicle platforms / architectures for 4×4 to yellow goods and tracked vehicles. SMT looks to adopt an overlay approach complimenting OEM systems wherever possible.
