Instant and Immediate Discovery of People, Sensors, and Information Services to Improve Operational Efficiency Today's threats and the way that our adversaries fight look very different than in decades past. Asymmetric threats rule the security landscape and with them come chaos and non-predictiveness. Asymmetric techniques often involve tactics that many might call "dirty fighting" which can include operational and strategic surprise and destruction in unanticipated ways....

Drones, Robotics, and non-Human Platforms: Blueforce Changes the SWaPP Equation

by Michael Helfrich
in autonomous agents, CBRN, Distributed Sensing, Fusion, HAZLOC, IoT, M2M, Sensors, Situational Awareness, Surveillance

Drones and autonomous platforms continue to be of huge interest to commanders because they provide ground truth intelligence (to a degree) because of actual eyes-on the incident. What is validating to us is that more and more commanders see the drone platform as something more than mere imagery collection. If you are the incident commander on a train derailment, understanding whether or not the tanker...
