Family of Integrated Rapid Response Equipment (FIRRE)

The intent of the U.S. Army's Family of Integrated Rapid Response Equipment (FIRRE) program is to reduce manpower requirements, enhance force protection capabilities, and reduce casualties through the use of unmanned systems. It consists of a wide range of Unmanned Ground Vehicles (UGV) and associated Unattended Ground Sensors (UGS) to counter terrorist actions in lieu of manned operations. FIRRE's near-term objective will be to provide an integrated network of unmanned systems and sensors to support physical security of high-value areas of interest. The overarching long-term goal is to develop a fully integrated, layered force protection system of systems for our forward deployed forces that is networked with the future force C4ISR systems architecture.
