防务技术公司Forterra周一在华盛顿的美国陆军协会会议上推出了一个新平台，该平台将允许军人使用统一的用户界面控制不同的自主系统。
Defense tech company Forterra introduced a new platform on Monday at the Association of the United States Army conference in Washington that will allow service members to control different autonomous systems using one user interface.
OASIS-OneLink 基于 Forterra 的 OASIS-Fabric——一种共享数据网络，能够让无人装置在通信受限、无法登录共享数据网格的环境中实现连接。
OASIS-OneLink builds upon Forterra’s OASIS-Fabric, a shared data network that allows unmanned machines to connect in communication-degraded environments where they can’t log onto a shared data grid.
Forterra 增长主管 Phil Cotter 对《军时报》表示：“每次引入新系统都要求操作员从头开始进行集成，这既低效又给最终用户带来负担。OneLink 为操作员提供了一个统一的监控与指挥平台，并且该平台设计为可随任务需求的变化而扩展和适应。” Forterra 分布式作战副总裁 Jenna Tuck 说，OASIS-Fabric 本质上是战场产品的互联网。
“Requiring operators to start an integration process from scratch every time a new system is introduced is both inefficient and burdensome for the end user,” Phil Cotter, Forterra’s head of growth, told Military Times. “OneLink gives operators one place from which to monitor and command, and it’s designed to grow and adapt as mission requirements change.”OASIS-Fabric was essentially the internet, but for battlefield products, according to Jenna Tuck, vice president of distributed warfare at Forterra.
Fabric 为机器提供了新的连接方式，而 OneLink 则提供了新的控制方式。
While Fabric provided a new way for machines to connect, OneLink provides a new way to control them.
新系统和技术往往配备各自的操作系统和视觉布局，类似于不同的电脑或手机。军方的情况也常常如此。
New systems and pieces of technology come with their own operating systems and visual layouts, not unlike different computers or phones. The same often goes for the military.
如果军人想要控制多种不同的自主系统，或在已有系统中加入新系统，他们可能需要学习全新的用户界面，或在切换时记住多个不同的界面。
If a service member wants to control several different autonomous systems, or if a new one is introduced to the mix, they may have to learn a completely new user interface or remember several different ones while toggling between them.
但 Tuck 说，OASIS-OneLink 将允许多种不同的自主机器——可能来自不同公司——使用相同的操作控制框架进行控制。这将使用户在不同系统之间切换时更加顺畅、更加容易。
But OASIS-OneLink would allow several different autonomous machines, potentially all from different companies, to be controlled using the same operating control framework, said Tuck. This would make switching between them much more seamless and easier for users.
该共享接口还可以加快新技术投入实战前的测试与评估阶段，因为它能让国防部专注于新自主系统的性能表现，减少原本用于掌握繁琐新控制系统的耗时工作。
The shared interface could also speed up the testing and evaluation phase before fielding new technology, since it would allow the Defense Department to focus on the performance of new autonomous systems and reduce time otherwise devoted to the tedious mastery of new controls.
Forterra表示，美国陆军联合战备训练中心已经开始使用OASIS-OneLink来试点无人系统。
The Army’s Joint Readiness Training Center has already begun using OASIS-OneLink to pilot unmanned systems, Forterra said.
OASIS-OneLink并非该公司在AUSA展会上展示的唯一一款亮眼新产品。
Oasis-OneLink wasn’t the only shiny new toy the company showed off at AUSA.
该公司还推出了一款与Hypercraft合作开发的全新自主地面车辆，通过集成其AutoDrive自主软件平台，打造出一台能够执行高风险任务且不会危及士兵生命的机器。
The company unveiled a new autonomous ground vehicle that it created with Hypercraft, integrating its AutoDrive autonomous software platform to form a machine capable of carrying out high-risk missions without endangering soldiers’ lives.
Forterra在为冲突环境中的任务提供尖端技术方面拥有久经验证的业绩。
Forterra has a proven track record of supplying cutting-edge technology to support missions in contested environments.
它是首家在乌克兰投入实际部署的地面自主技术公司，并已执行了88次伤员撤离任务，从前线救出乌克兰士兵。
It was the first ground autonomy company to be actively deployed in Ukraine and has deployed for 88 casualty evacuation missions to rescue Ukrainian soldiers from the front lines.
Forterra还被美国陆军选为主要承包商，负责其“工程自主突破能力”项目，该项目专注于开发无人车辆，以协助在战区进行排雷作业。
Forterra was also selected by the Army as a prime contractor for its Engineer Autonomous Breaching Capability program focused on the development of unmanned vehicles to assist with mine-clearing in combat zones.
