Autonomous or Semi-Autonomous systems for Integrated Fires through Human-Machine Combat Teaming Focus Area
Abstract
This focus area addresses the need to develop new operational capabilities, which provide the warfighter and battlefield commander enhanced situational awareness and a common operating picture. By integrating legacy and next generation autonomous or semi-autonomous systems, projects selected in this focus area enable battlefield commanders to: speed up the observe, orient, decide, and act (OODA) loop; reduce warfighter cognitive load; and, increase timely application of appropriate kinetic or non-kinetic responses. The focus area is aimed at rapidly developing prototype technologies and demonstrations of systems to: (1) semi-autonomously detect, identify, track, prioritize, and engage targets with operator determination; (2) autonomously detect, classify threats or threat signals, then recommend defensive or offensive actions to the operator. Prototypes developed in this focus area will be delivered to Joint and Service users to evaluate joint mission capabilities under realistic conditions and against current adversaries or anticipated threats. Development of advanced prototypes will involve partnerships with industry and academia and permit operational users to gain insight into future technology-enabled strategies and tactics.
