To
Merge Human Intelligence With Robotic War
Machines
In
less than a decade, unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs)
have evolved from a curiosity on the
battlefield to a core 'eyes in the sky'
resource for the US military. Yet,
as more UAVs enter the battlespace for new and
novel uses, these unmanned systems will need
to operate more intelligently and
autonomously, evading enemy hazards and
adapting to the changing mission conditions
with reduced human intervention. To
meet the challenge of how human knowledge can
be transferred to machine systems, Aptima and
the Cognitive Engineering Research Institute
are developing MIMIC, the "Mixed
Initiative Machine for Instructed
Computing," a capability for capturing
and conveying to UAVs the flight control and
decision-making expertise lodged in the heads
of humans. MIMIC
is being developed through a contract with the
Office of Naval Research (ONR), to help ONR to
create a next generation of intelligent UAVs
that can operate more autonomously, allowing
the UAV for example, to infer mission threats
and more quickly avoid adversary actions, to
self-launch or land, and to make necessary
flight control decisions when communications
are disrupted, or the human operator's
attention is divided amongst several UAVs.
