THE U. S. ARMY RESEARCH LABORATORY (ARL) HAS IDENTIFIED ESSENTIAL RESEARCH AREAS (ERAS), THAT ARE CRITICAL TO REDUCING TECHNOLOGY UNCERTAINTY, FILLING KNOWLEDGE GAPS, AND IDENTIFYING TECHNOLOGY RISK ASSOCIATED WITH DELIVERING NEW CAPABILITIES. THE ERAS REPRESENT ARLS HIGHEST- PRIORITY WORK. ON THE FUTURE BATTLEFIELD, HUMANS WILL COLLABORATE CLOSELY WITH ARTIFICIALLY INTELLIGENT SYSTEMS. INTELLIGENT SYSTEMS WILL BE TEAM MEMBERS AND WILL SERVE TO EXTEND THE REACH AND CAPABILITY OF INDIVIDUAL UNITS TO ENABLE UNPRECEDENTED CAPABILITIES. THREE ERAS FOCUS ON RELATED CHALLENGES: HUMAN-AGENT TEAMING, ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE AND MACHINE LEARNING, AND ACCELERATED LEARNING FOR A READY AND RESPONSIVE FORCE, WHICH ADDRESS, RESPECTIVELY, ENABLING HIGHLY EFFECTIVE INFORMATION EXCHANGE BETWEEN SOLDIERS AND INTELLIGENT SYSTEMS IN PERFORMING WARFIGHTING FUNCTIONS AS A COHESIVE TEAM; INCREASING THE INTELLIGENCE OF ENGINEERED SYSTEMS TO BECOME THE TRUE TEAMMATES OF SOLDIERS; AND PREPARING HUMANS TO ENGAGE WITH INTELLIGENT SYSTEMS WITHIN THEIR TEAM TO CREATE AN EFFECTIVE FIGHTING FORCE. INTELLIGENT EXPLORATION AND ROBUST COLLABORATIVE SURVEILLANCE BY AUTONOMOUS ROBOTS WILL BE ESSENTIAL TO URBAN OPERATIONS, ALLOWING THEM TO PREVENT FUTURE RISK OF VULNERABILITY AND THREATS. TO ADDRESS THIS ISSUE, THE ARMY RESEARCH LABORATORY IS DEVELOPING AUTONOMOUS TACTICAL BEHAVIORS ON AIR AND GROUND PLATFORMS FOR HETEROGENEOUS TEAMING AND COLLABORATION AMONG PHYSICAL AGENTS FOR PERSISTENT SURVEILLANCE AND OTHER APPLICATIONS.
