MATes
Abstract
Traditionally, the utilization of autonomous systems is either operationally segregated from manned operations or requires a significant amount of human oversight when operating in conjunction with manned assets, which mitigates some of the advantage from using them. The goal of the Manned and Autonomous Teams (MATes) project is to develop autonomic robotic technology and collaborative autonomous behaviors that seamlessly operate across all domains in conjunction with manned units, allowing for real-time adaptation and optimization in a manner that streamlines the element of human interaction needed to share mission goals. This technology will monitor human or manned system teammate state, behavior, mission, and adversary threat status to anticipate and act in a tactically appropriate manner that is predictable, communicable, and trusted by the human/manned teammates and which enables autonomous system optimization in coordination with the human/manned teammate and mission objectives. Intuitive human/autonomous system interfaces will be developed to allow focus on higher-order decision-making tasks by the operators allowing for large numbers of autonomous systems (100's or 1000's) to be managed in support of manned operations. The activity identified in Project Unit 3463 MAtes specifically addresses Advanced Technology Development in support of the MATes effort.
