The University of Florida was awarded a $150,000 project grant from the Department of the Air Force Materiel Command Research Laboratory under the Air Force Defense Research Sciences Program (CFDA 12.800) to develop a robotic platform for testing and validating heterogeneous autonomous systems in contested environments. The platform will allow researchers to test autonomous vehicles and technologies under realistic conditions simulating threats such as jamming and cyber attacks. Testing in a controlled environment that can simulate threats will help researchers advance autonomous capabilities for the Air Force while avoiding risks to personnel. The University of Florida will perform the work under this two-year award through January 2024 focusing on delivery of the robotic platform and tests to evaluate autonomous systems resilience.
