U.S. Coast Guard Autonomous Systems Evergreen Pinecone
Abstract
The Office of Emerging Policy and Strategic Foresight (DCO-X) sponsored this Project Evergreen Pinecone workshop in collaboration with the Research and Development Center (RDC) and the U.S. Coast Guard Academy (USCGA). The event brought together a unique and diverse group of federal, academic, and industry participants to explore the state of the industry for autonomy technology and its impact and opportunities for the U.S. Coast Guard (USCG) across plausible futures. The event was held on 13-14 September 2023, at the Army DEVCOM ARLs Robotics Research Collaboration Campus (R2C2). This workshop achieved two main objectives: 1) Produce information to inform USCG strategies, operational approaches, and research efforts towards autonomous systems and 2) Identify future operational and research partners for engagement within the next 10 years to address USCG autonomous capabilities requirements. The workshop focused on framing future USCG strategies, operational approaches, and research areas to address the requirements, possible mission use, and regulation over the near term and the future out to 2048. The event output will help the Service formulate autonomous strategies, operational and tactical use cases, and focus R and D autonomous initiatives for the coming decades. The event also provided industry an opportunity to offer perspectives that will shape future engagement.
