Neya systems, a subsidiary of Applied Research Associates (ARA) has a combined staff experience of over 450 years developing autonomy for ground vehicles. Our deep domain expertise spans semi-autonomy, autonomy, perception, and mission-planning; all of which support a wide range of DoD thrust areas. Having started as a small SBIR based company in 2009 focusing on mission planning for multi-domain robotics systems, Neya has grown to over 50 employees with over $50-million thus far in direct DoD investment. Our autonomy development facilities include two offices strategically placed near the key robotics “hubs”: Pittsburgh and Boston, and we offer a 60-acre off-road proving ground for all our vehicle developments.

As a leader in the off-road autonomy industry, we are a key provider of full-stack autonomy solutions to multiple agencies spanning the department of defense. Below is a subset of recent projects:

ARMY Autonomous Ground Re-Supply (AGR):

Neya is developing an advanced behavior for the autonomous convoy mission to allow 10+ PLS vehicles to autonomously exit out of a parking depot and re-park upon reaching their destination. The project involves the development of advanced planning and perception capabilities including a decentralized coordination algorithm.

ARMY RCV Autonomy (CoVeR):

Neya is the lead “full-stack” autonomy developer for GVSC’s Combat Vehicle Robotics (CoVeR) program that seeks to develop advanced capabilities for the ARMY RCV vehicles. This project involves the maturation of lower-TRL planning systems, and the development of state-of-the-art perception capabilities (negative obstacles, dense vegetation) targeted for use in theatre.

DARPA SQUAD-X Autonomy:

We have developed UGV perception, planning and control software to allow ground robots to detect and maintain tactically appropriate formation movement, in the presence of obstacles, within a mixed human-UGV squad. Tactical behavior is implemented using a flexible profile to allow for rapid addition of new formations and tactics.

ONR MARS Amphibious Autonomy:

The MARS program seeks to develop autonomy for amphibious vehicles in the surf-zone to allow them to provide ship-to-shore re-supply mission. Neya is developing the sensor suite and perception capabilities to detect and classify wave signatures as well as land/sea segmentation to allow for these vehicles to autonomous navigate through the surf and transition between open sea, surf zone, and land.
