Subterranean (SubT) Challenge
Abstract
The DARPA Subterranean (SubT) Challenge is developing novel integrated solutions capable of mapping, navigating, and searching complex and dynamic terrains (tunnel systems, urban underground and cave networks); sensors and computation for perception in austere conditions; distributed information sharing in degraded communications environments; and collaborative autonomy enabling extended operations with minimal human intervention. The core objective of the SubT Challenge is to discover the solution(s) which best outperforms current approaches for manually and laboriously mapping and searching subterranean environments. Newly developed capabilities will span across four technology focus areas in autonomy, perception, networking, and mobility technologies. The program will increase the diversity, versatility, and robustness of relevant system technologies, capable of addressing the multi-faceted needs of a wide range of environments. Innovations are being explored in the context of a public-facing, broadly inclusive DARPA Challenge.
