CoSyCo
Abstract
Control Systems for Coordinated Operations (CoSyCo) will validate and rapidly deliver field-able datalinks and Command and Control networks, along with CONOPS and Tactics, Techniques, and Procedures (TTPs), for manned-unmanned teaming (MUM-T) between aircraft. This project will attempt to prove out the concept for in live-fly operations, accelerate the community understanding of acceptable cognitive loads for fighter pilots, and discover unrecognized synergy between these platforms. The CoSYCo effort is lead by the USAF out of Air Combat Command and the Navy will be playing a supporting role to their overall effort, aligning USN aerial target and autonomy development and demonstration efforts to reduce risk and field "playbooks" early (a playbook is a set of behaviors air vehicles will fly). The intent is to leverage ongoing USN projects and develop technology to provide the opportunity to fly USAF developed CoSyCo playbooks in a live environment on Navy targets. This risk reducing activity will create an organic ability to fly design reference missions (DRM) that are pertinent to adversary air, combat collaborative aircraft (CCA), and weapon system behavior development. Additionally, due to the lower Technology Readiness Level (TRL) or the end state USAF aerial platform, Navy targets is positioned to provide a "fly early" opportunity for the CoSyCo effort. The Navy will be focused on the rapid fielding capability of the autonomous behaviors required by the playbooks. Project 6019 funds Phase 1. PRJ 6019-CoSyCo, is a new start for FY 2024.
