Subterranean (SubT) Challenge*

Abstract

*Formerly part of Urban Operations The DARPA Subterranean (SubT) Challenge will develop novel integrated solutions capable of mapping and navigating 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 interventions. The core objective of the SubT Challenge is to find 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 will be explored in the context of a public-facing, broadly inclusive DARPA Challenge.
