Heinkel HD 36 The Heinkel HD 36 was a trainer developed in Germany in the 1920s at the request of the Swedish Air Force , which was in search of a new trainer aircraft . The newly formed air force had previously evaluated the HD 35 , found it to be underpowered , and asked Heinkel to address this problem . Heinkel ' s response was a development of the HD 35 modified to use the Mercedes D . III engine instead . The HD 36 also dispensed with the third cockpit that had been a feature of the HD 35 and HD 21 before it , but otherwise the design was largely the same . The single example built by Heinkel was tested by the Air Force , and found still not quite satisfactory , was modified by CFM ( the Air Force workshops ) until the problems had been largely eliminated . Once this had happened , CFM built two batches of 10 aircraft , delivering them in 1928 and 1930 as the Sk 6 . Constant trouble with the engines led to restrictions on longer flights being imposed , and the solution eventually adopted was to replace the engines on all Sk 6s with Armstrong Siddeley Puma s . Aircraft thus modified were redesignated S 6A . Regardless , the type did not remain in service for very long , and all were dismantled after only a few years .
Autonomous Navigation System The Autonomous Navigation System ( ANS ) was a combat vehicle upgrade used to convert manned vehicles to autonomous unmanned capability or to upgrade already unmanned vehicles to be autonomous . Design . ANS was an onboard , integrated suite of sensors and technology that enabled autonomous navigation , perception , path - planning and vehicle - following capabilities for unmanned ground vehicle s , allowing them to move on the battlefield with minimal human oversight . Some tasks the system already performed in tests included move - on - route , obstacle detection and avoidance and leader / follower capabilities in both day and night conditions . Originally designed by the Army for integration on the Armed Robotic Vehicle - Assault ( Light ) ( ARV - A ( L ) ) , the ANS has also been tested on vehicles including Stryker s , MULE Engineering Evaluation Units , and Light Medium Tactical Vehicles ( LMTV ) . History . The Critical Design Review found the ANS to be at a maturity level consistent with moving to the prototype fabrication phase and that its assessments and critical issues presented low risk with 95 percent of its requirements met . Closure of the CDR was expected in late August 2010 . Prototype delivery was scheduled for late 2011 and Integrated Qualification Testing would begin in 2012 . The Army ended development work on the system and ARV in July 2011 stating that the system " did not warrant continued investment , " . Sources .
