Replanning for Evasive Autonomy to Counter Threats

Description

The objective of this topic is to develop applied research toward an innovative capability that generates and executes game-theoretically optimized Courses of Action (COAs) for both Blue (swarm) and Red (adversary) forces. The contractor will co-develop realistic operational scenarios with the Government, encode Commander’s Intent into a formal utility function, and iteratively refine the autonomy using simulation environments integrated with a Tactical Assault Kit or another system. The final capability will enable a 200-agent UAS swarm to operate in degraded environments—such as those with EW interference, kinetic threats, or weather events—while achieving mission objectives in alignment with AFSOC’s provided Adaptive Airborne Enterprise (A2E) vision for tiered ISR.
