Abstract
A definition of intelligence is given in terms of performance that can be quantitatively measured. Behaviors required of unmanned ground vehicles are described and computational requirements for intelligent control at seven hierarchical levels in a military scout platoon are outlined. Metrics and measurements are suggested for evaluating the performance of unmanned ground vehicles. Calibrated data and test facilities are suggested to facilitate the development of intelligent systems.
