Overview
The main goal of this Roadmap is to convey the RS JPO's short- and long-term strategies. The short-term period covers one to five years, with long-term covering beyond five years. The RS JPO is focusing heavily on the improvement and modernization of the current robot fleet, as well as assisting in the development and release of emerging requirement documents such as the Squad Multi-Purpose Equipment Transport (S-MET). These efforts support the achievement of RS JPO's overarching goal of ensuring the Warfighter's needs are addressed both now and into the future. Along with these goals, this Roadmap is intended to inform the various stakeholder communities consisting of S&T Labs, other Program Managers (PMs), and the TRADOC CoE regarding:


 * Advancements in technologies for UGS
 * Changes within the organization of the RS JPO
 * RS JPO interoperability efforts
 * Updates on the RS JPO Commercial-off-the-shelf (COTS) and POR robotic programs.
