Rapid Prototyping of Autonomous or Semi-Autonomous systems for Human-Machine Combat Teaming
Abstract
This focus area addresses the need to develop new operational capabilities; speed up the observe, orient, decide, and act (OODA) loop; and, enhance situational awareness through the teaming of humans with autonomous or semi-autonomous robotic or software enabled systems. 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 operational capabilities under realistic conditions and against current adversaries or anticipated threats. Potential venues for prototype assessment include assets such as Thunderstorm integration exercises and multi-domain demonstration venues across DoD. 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.
