TEAMING OF HUMANS AND UNMANNED NETWORKED DRONE RESEARCH

The Department of the Air Force is procuring research services on teaming humans with unmanned networked drones from DCS Corporation under a contract valued at USD 8,518,965.76, with work performed at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base. This effort, later modified to a total of approximately $30 million and extending to May 2028, supports the Air Force Research Laboratory's Aerospace Systems Directorate in advancing human-drone integration technologies. The strategic context involves enhancing Air Force capabilities in unmanned systems for future missions, aligning with broader R&D in multi-domain operations.
