This grant is for advancing the development and application of cooperative technologies specifically designed for unmanned systems. The purpose is to foster innovative research and solutions that enable multiple autonomous platforms—such as unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), ground vehicles (UGVs), and marine vessels (USVs)—to operate synergistically. This includes exploring areas like swarm intelligence, distributed control architectures, secure inter-system communication, collaborative sensing, and dynamic task allocation. The aim is to enhance the overall effectiveness, resilience, and efficiency of unmanned systems in complex operational environments, leading to breakthrough capabilities in fields like reconnaissance, environmental monitoring, logistics, and disaster response. Proposals should explore novel approaches to enable seamless collaboration and autonomous decision-making among heterogeneous unmanned assets.
