QinetiQ Leads Human and Machine Teaming Advancement
QinetiQ’s DATUM team has delivered UK and European firsts for the live airborne exchange of control of an unmanned air system (UAS) between operators in separate crewed aircraft. The demonstration proved how effective teams comprising both humans and machines can be dynamically built and operated in real time, paving the way for their use by militaries in the future.
This is a significant step forward as operators in real-world scenarios will need to exchange control of available capabilities securely during missions. This will act as a force multiplier for UAS during operations, enabling them to be employed at the point of greatest need by the most appropriate operator and maximising the achieved effect in rapidly evolving tactical situations.
Both the live demonstration and the parallel synthetic trial were conducted using QinetiQ’s autonomy and policy management software, ACCSIOM, managing the same multi-platform mission in the real world and the virtual. The data captured during the synthetic trial is now being analysed and compared with live trial data to investigate and inform requirements for Digital Test & Evaluation. DATUM was delivered with the support of the Royal Navy, who loaned 744 Naval Air Squadron aircrew into the demonstration .
