Together with an incredible assembly of academic and industrial partners, we are proud to have been awarded one of the three NWO KiC projects on collaboration between humans and (semi-)autonomous systems. Lead by Tilburg University we will be working on swarming drones collaborating with humans. This project represents another great collaboration with our industrial partner THALES.
STEADFAST – Swarm Technology Enabling Advanced Drone-Facilitated Active Support Tactics for Military and First Responder Operations
Situational awareness (SA) is critical for disaster response, particularly for military (special) operations when prompt decision-making and real-time monitoring are essential. Intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (ISR) combined with human-swarm teaming (HST) capabilities can provide accurate and efficient SA in both natural and densely populated areas. All the same, a number of scientific and sociological obstacles make successful HST deployment hard. By enabling quicker reaction times, improved decision-making, and more efficient use of military and first responder personnel and resources, this project hopes to minimise casualties and collateral damage.
