Our industry partners: Defence Science and Technology group
This Competitive Evaluation Research Agreement project with the Defence Science and Technology group is investigating the use of low-bandwidth communications in decentralised path planning, along with cognitive radar techniques applied to active perception. This work will be demonstrated through multi-platform trials incorporating elements of manned–unmanned teaming.
