Tactical Behaviors for Autonomous Maneuver
Funds research teaching small teams of autonomous robots to maneuver tactically in complex, adversarial military environments.
Future Army units will need small teams of autonomous robots that can maneuver together under real battlefield conditions — including when communications and positioning signals are jammed or gone. This program funds the research behind that.
The Tactical Behaviors for Autonomous Maneuver Collaborative Research Program develops and experimentally tests coordinated and individual behaviors for sma…
Developing and experimentally evaluating coordinated and individual behaviors for small groups of autonomous agents learning doctrinal and novel tactics to maneuver in complex, adversarial military environments, tested first in simulation and potentially advanced to physical robotic test platforms.
