Distributed Collaborative Intelligent Systems CTA
Abstract
This project fosters basic research through the highly Distributed and Collaborative Intelligent Systems and Technology (DCIST) Collaborative Technology Alliance (CTA), a competitively selected university consortium which leverages world-class research necessary to address future force and Army Transformation needs. The CTA links a broad range of government technology agencies, as well as industrial and academic partners with the Army Research Laboratory (ARL). The DCIST CTA focuses on systems with a large number of heterogeneous intelligent agents, including Soldiers that can be distributed over large areas and are required to move through contested environments and against peer capabilities at op-tempo. To meet these goals innovative research is performed in three main technical areas: distributed intelligence, large heterogeneous group control, and adaptive and resilient behaviors. The payoff to the warfighter will be extended reach, situational awareness, and operational effectiveness against dynamic threats in contested environments, and technical and operational superiority through intelligent, resilient and collaborative behaviors of Soldiers and intelligent systems. The CTA facilitates the exchange of people among the collaborating organizations to provide cross-organizational perspectives on basic research challenges, and to make available to the Alliance state-of-the-art facilities and equipment at the participating organizations. The cited work is consistent with the Assistant Secretary of Defense for Research and Engineering Science and Technology priority focus areas and the Army Modernization Strategy. Work in this project is performed by the ARL in Adelphi, MD.
