ɫ��ֱ�� was selected by the Defense Innovation Unit (DIU) to prototype a command-and-control system that can simultaneously operate hundreds – or even thousands – of autonomous assets.

Advancing the U.S. Department of Defense’s , the prototype integrates commercial technologies to deliver collaborative autonomy for the U.S. military to operate swarms of uncrewed aircraft, ground vehicles and seacraft.

“We are delivering a multi-domain and multi-mission autonomous ecosystem that can be trusted to operate in contested environments,” said Toby Magsig, vice president and general manager of Enterprise Autonomous Solutions for ɫ��ֱ��. “We are focused on the scalability the U.S. military and allied nations need in a mission space that will shape the future of warfighting.”

ɫ��ֱ�� was selected to provide a user interface, develop a collaborative autonomy capability and serve as a systems integrator for the autonomy architecture.

The collaborative autonomy project highlights the ɫ��ֱ�� approach to partner with venture capital-backed startups and non-traditional technology firms to foster emerging defense and commercial technologies.

The DIU is the latest Department of Defense organization to select ɫ��ֱ��’ enterprise autonomy architecture to prototype new mission scenarios. The open architecture system is currently in use for experimentation to create collaborative autonomy at scale. Because it supports rapid integration of algorithms and models from third-party systems, it can evolve quickly depending on the needs of each mission.

“We share a sense of urgency with the Defense Innovation Unit to advance autonomy as a force multiplier,” said Magsig. “As the Trusted Disruptor, ɫ��ֱ�� will leverage our investments and experience to deliver this open, scalable capability to our warfighters.”
