The RACER program keeps proving what autonomous systems can do on the battlefield. We ran the first space-to-tactical ground autonomous experiment that detected, tracked, and engaged simulated threats, all while keeping humans in control.

What can four years at DARPA make possible? For Thomas Kenny, Ph.D., those four years helped turn an early-stage idea into technology now used in aircraft, telecommunications, and defense systems.

How can vertical lift move more with less? In the latest "Voices from DARPA" episode, our DARPA Lift Challenge program manager discusses the 4:1 payload-to-weight goal for transforming last-mile logistics and why that may be only the beginning of improvements in this field.

We’re rapidly developing and testing new capabilities to secure global maritime shipping corridors at scale. Our most recent test of Pulling Guard technology is step one before we head into future open-water trials.
We have successfully completed a sheltered-water autonomous towing demonstration for @DARPA’s Pulling Guard program. In under six months, our team moved from selection for the program to designing, building, and testing a new vessel created for this effort. During the demonstration, the uncrewed vessel autonomously executed every phase of the towing concept of operations, from station-keeping and connection through towing transit and a controlled disconnect. Every planned test objective was met, including proving that autonomous winch control could be fully integrated with Saronic’s existing autonomy stack and operate as a single coordinated system throughout the sequence. Pulling Guard aims to develop flexible, semi-autonomous surface vessel systems that can escort and help protect unarmed logistics vessels at sea. Reliable autonomous towing and station-keeping are foundational to that concept, and proving these capabilities early reduces technical risk and generates real-world data that will inform the platform’s design and development as the program advances. We are proud to continue working with DARPA to move that concept closer to reality.
