ASTM F3327-18

1.1 This practice describes a means to record the A-UGV configuration when testing. The practice provides a method for recording A-UGV hardware and software control parameters and describes high-level capabilities, such as used for A-UGV safety and navigation.

1.2 This practice: contextualizes the A-UGV configuration during a test, including the identification and adjustment of main configuration parameters; provides the proper context for test results; provides a basis for comparison of the test circumstances across different vehicles or tests, or both; and allows a test to be recreated.

1.3 The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as the standard. The values given in parentheses are not precise mathematical conversions to imperial units. They are close approximate equivalents for the purpose of specifying A-UGV characteristics while maintaining repeatability and reproducibility of the test method results. These values given in parentheses are provided for information only and are not considered standard.

1.4 This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety, health, and environmental practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.

1.5 This international standard was developed in accordance with internationally recognized principles on standardization established in the Decision on Principles for the Development of International Standards, Guides and Recommendations issued by the World Trade Organization Technical Barriers to Trade (TBT) Committee.
