Autonomy Technologies Focus Area
Abstract
This focus area explores advances in autonomy technology to develop prototypes that enable more effective man-machine teaming and collaboration; use of autonomous systems in complex urban environments; and low-cost, scalable autonomous assets to defeat threats. Prototype technologies will advance capabilities such as scalable autonomous behavior, collaborative actions between autonomous systems, human-above the loop control, and hardware for next-generation autonomous systems. Specific activities include autonomy algorithm development, modeling and design, and experimentation and evaluation of autonomy systems. These prototype capabilities will reduce technical and integration risk and provide joint cross-cutting value to the warfighter. A cross functional team, led by the Office of the Under Secretary of Defense for Research and Engineering, will review and select prototyping proposals from across the Department of Defense in the year of execution.
