a) Mission Autonomy Software: The ability to coordinate and automate teams of unmanned systems.

b) Multi-Domain Command and Control: The ability to connect and control assets across land, sea, air, cyber and space.

c) Sensor Fusion and Battle Management System (BMS): The ability to provide real-time integration of sensors, data fusion and decision support.

d) Open Architecture and Defense Operating System: Provide an extensible platform with the ability to utilize an open Software Development Kit (SDK)/Application Programming Interface (API) for third-party integration.

e) Command and Control Dashboard: Provide a dashboard that supports a full-stack autonomous platform.

Additional Attributes (meets all attributes)

a) The ability to fuse data and control assets concurrently, specifically to support integration of sensors, shooters, drones, towers and vehicles.

b) The ability to control that coordinate autonomously, specifically supports real-time mission autonomy for teams of unmanned systems.

c) Utilize a distributed mesh network that supports low bandwidth, self-healing, operation in contested environments and shares data across large distances with no central node.

d) Harness the functionality for sensor-to-shooter automation.

e) Provide a single architecture platform that is designed as a dual-use, full-stack environment to cover a variety of environments.

f) Capability to maintain decision-making Artificial Intelligence (AI) with autonomy at the edge. Functionality of AI that will withstand jamming, degraded communications, no-GPS conditions and/or expeditionary environments.

g) Functions on an operation system for defense with layered integration over the developer ecosystem.

h) Analyze patterns of behavior over time (i.e. pattern of life” and threat prediction.
