RE2, Inc. Awarded Phase I SBIR to Develop a System for Dynamic Modeling and Planning of Safe Routes

PITTSBURGH, PA, Aug 05 (MARKET WIRE) --
RE2, Inc., a leading developer of intelligent modular manipulation
systems and Joint Architecture for Unmanned Systems (JAUS) software
solutions, announced that it has been awarded a Phase I Small Business
Innovation Research (SBIR) program to develop a System for Dynamic
Modeling and Planning of Safe Routes for the Office of the Secretary of
Defense (OSD), a U.S. Navy funded program.

"This project represents a new direction of technology development for RE2
and will build upon RE2's strong background in robotics research and
robust software engineering capabilities to provide a solution that meets
the needs of today's military," stated Dr. Patrick Rowe, vice president of
research and development for RE2, Inc.

During the six-month Phase I program, RE2 will research and develop
enhancements for existing route planning technology that calculates the
safest path through a post-combat or urban area, taking into account
information about various threats. Threats include the chance of sniper
attack, risk of encountering improvised explosive devices (IEDs), and
hostile local reaction to military presence. The RE2 team will also
implement an intuitive graphical user interface software tool to display
map and route information in an easy-to-understand format, and allow the
user to quickly update the threat information as new intelligence is
obtained in order to plan a new, safer route.

"In addition to improving our military's ability to safely navigate
through hostile environments, we envision that this technology will also
be applicable to commercial markets in the future, thus expanding our
product offerings outside of the Department of Defense," said Jorgen
Pedersen, president and CEO of RE2, Inc.
