Team to develop Web Weasels Autonomous Swarming AI Munitions for Air Force
CENTENNIAL, COLORADO, UNITED STATES, August 24, 2022 /EINPresswire.com/ — Unmanned Experts Inc. and accomplice Liteye Systems Inc. announce that Air Force’s AFLCMC Armament Directorate has awarded a one-year contract to the crew to construct Web Weasels Autonomous Swarming Artificially Intelligent Munitions program. Web Weasels is a part of Unmanned Experts dad or mum program known as Air Commons® -Swarm which permits commanders to plan, activity, and handle a number of swarming belongings by a ‘Swarm ATO” and Swarm Engine.
Squadrons of autonomous collaborative munitions working on the vary, and in danger, want the coaching, ways, strategies, and procedures (TTPs) to deal with the speed-of-datalink atmosphere that happens in trendy fight. Teamwork, communication, shared psychological fashions, and a sturdy set of tried and examined methods are wanted to outlive and dominate. Web Weasels (WW) goals to overlay AI/ML educated algorithms onto Air Commons – Swarm’s capabilities to supply pre-launch munitions with a collection of TTPs in a ‘Playbook’ for a given mission set (i.e., SEAD). The munitions will launch with AI-on-the-Edge {hardware}, firmware, and comms structure which permits them to collaboratively assess the fight atmosphere, vote on probably the most appropriate Play, name an ‘Audible’ change, and execute the improved plan. In addition, the Human-in-the-Loop (HITL) features of autonomous swarm C2 are advanced. WW will analyze finest practices and develop the Human-Swarm Interface (HSwI) utilizing HITL simulators.
“The Armament Directorate is pursuing ideas that permit Blue Forces to command various collaborative weapons systems and coordinated tactics to ensure success. A dynamic battlespace requires automated, adaptive weapons systems and cooperative tactics as well as Artificial intelligence algorithms with “dialable” human affect,” stated Keven Gambold, CEO of Unmanned Experts. “Web Weasels’ goal is for swarm operators to be able to train and deploy artificially intelligent collaborative autonomous munitions rapidly and globally on any mission type.”
Web Weasels makes use of three groups, one constructing, and coaching AI/ML Playbook algorithms; one targeted on AI-on-the-Edge, voting, and Audibles; and the third one testing HSwI configurations. Web Weasels will use AFSim to run trial iterations, and then fly suitably outfitted small UAS to emulate autonomous stand-off munitions in opposition to Liteye’s SHIELD™ Counter-UAS techniques to emulate an Enemy Force built-in radar risk.
“Liteye is excited to be working on this program with Unmanned Experts,” stated Kenneth Geyer, CEO of Liteye Systems. “As drone warfare advancements continue at a staggering rate it is important to keep adding capabilities like Web Weasels to our solutions.”
