Firre (military)

Family of Integrated Rapid Response Equipment (FIRRE)

The intent of the U.S. Army's FIRRE program is to reduce manpower requirements, enhance force protection capabilities, and reduce casualties through the use of unmanned systems. It consists of a 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 is to provide a network of unmanned systems and sensors to support physical security of high-value areas of interest. The long-term goal is to develop a layered force protection system of systems for forward deployed forces that is networked with the future force C4ISR systems architecture.
