Description
The Joint All Domain Persistent Adaptive Collaborative Technologies Project is exploring command and control (C2) concepts that enable use of AI/autonomy. C2 Decision Advantage Events provide support for C2 associated decisions and an opportunity to learn about and explore many different AI/ML/automation approaches for C2. The events and R&D aim to ensure warfighter involvement in the development of AI/ML/automation and Human-Machine Teaming (HMT) concepts to further identify areas where autonomy would help warfighters. Each event will have a Closed Call issued with details. Submitted proposals should reflect an understanding of the decision function, describe the potential product solution, and address coverage of the technical requirements by the potential solution. As part of “understanding of the decision function”, include an unclassified military use case (short vignette) that demonstrates the company’s/party’s understanding the decision function.
