Bringing a revolution in unmanned warfare as advances in sensors and AI are poised to allow a growing range of uncrewed systems to perform their missions with much more limited direction from their human operators.
Manned-Unmanned Teaming (MUM-T) involves complementing manned military vehicles with autonomous uncrewed systems for efficiency and support, with autonomy crucial for mission success without micromanagement, especially in combat scenarios where attention is divided.
Modular Open Systems Approach (MOSA) allows diverse systems to work together without converging on a single standard, resolving communication challenges.
The U.S. Air Force’s premier attempt to bring autonomy to edge of aerial warfare is embodied in the Collaborative Combat Aircraft (CCA) intended to accompany manned supersonic stealth fighters into combat as ‘loyal wingmen.’
