Tactical Autonomy
The Tactical Autonomy Group develops and delivers AI-enabled autonomy and robotic systems where it counts — at the tactical edge. We combine deep knowledge of algorithms, controls, machine learning, and human-robot teaming into solutions for end users. We work beyond basic research to design, build, integrate, field-test, and transition autonomy stacks that span perception, decision-making, learning, and control into real-world operations across the Department of War and intelligence community.
