Official Description

As a part of this feasibility study, the proposers shall address all viable system design options with respective specifications. This capability will integrate AI-enabled multi-agent planning and adversarial reasoning into a software system that supports resilient, decentralized UAS swarm coordination. The autonomy system must produce and execute game-theoretically optimized Courses of Action (COAs) for both Blue (UAS swarm) and Red (adversarial threat) forces, accounting for the interdependenc...
