AFRL wants autonomy to help guide mission management of AI-enabled systems

The Air Force Research Laboratory is interested in developing autonomous capabilities for analyzing operations and directing courses of action to uncrewed aircraft, according to a request for information issued today. To ensure robotic platforms continue to adhere to mission commands and are able to independently make reasonable decisions in future battles, AFRL says it needs to develop autonomous software beyond just functionality to also address battlefield awareness and decision-making. “Modular autonomy software development will enable platforms in crewed-uncrewed and uncrewed-uncrewed...
