The Army's push towards developing highly flexible military teams that combine manned and unmanned units requires significant advances in the intelligence of the unmanned units and in the tools used to provide logistical support. BBN Technologies has recently completed a simulation-based project for the Army Research Lab in which we applied an evolutionary computation approach for determining the tactical responses of an unmanned ground vehicle, moderated by explicit rules of engagement. BBN is also currently developing a logistic analysis prototype that uses agent-based technology and evolutionary computation to enable rapid logistics planning and replanning for supporting an Army organization encountering a diversity of planned and unplanned situations.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
