- Description
- W911NF-25-R-HMIF: In support of Human Machine Integrated Formations (HMI-F), the Army requires autonomous systems that must be reliable, tailorable, efficient, continuously learning, and integrated into all aspects of military operations. The Army must leverage both the technological advances and industry best practices for integrating autonomous systems into how the Army plans, trains, and executes missions in a contested and dynamic operational environment. The Army requires assistance with making its data usable, developing procedures to train autonomous systems, delineating the right level of autonomy for different types of systems, and integrating autonomy into our air, ground, intelligence, and command and control systems. The attached provides the draft Autonomy Characteristics of Need (CoN), to increase industry awareness and collaboration. This CoN statement is a living document and will be updated as required based on technological observations and lessons learned through experimentation. The Army invites industry to contribute to the overarching Autonomy and HMI-F dialogue and provide comments on the attached CoN. Feedback may be directed to the Army Futures Command (AFC) Directorate of Integration (DOI) Point of Contact: COL Marcus A.
