Unison

The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) is soliciting innovative proposals for Unison, a program to develop and evaluate collaborative-autonomy approaches that jointly adapt team decision-making and communications during mission execution. Unison will investigate approaches that enable autonomous teams to modify tactics, behaviors, coordination relationships, and information exchange as mission complexity and operational variability increase and communications become constrained and/or degraded (see Section 7, Glossary, for program-specific definitions of terms in italics). The core hypothesis of Unison is that a unified execution-time reasoning approach to action planning and communications planning can improve the effectiveness, scalability, and resilience of collaborative autonomy ....
