Integrating autonomous systems - Defence is interested in addressing the integration challenges of operating these new autonomous systems with legacy military capabilities. From a people perspective - what are the opportunities, costs and risks of introducing autonomous systems? How do we effectively integrate people with autonomous systems and define the boundaries and interfaces?
Background
In an increasingly connected and complex world, we need to optimise our use of rich and diverse data sets to inform decision makers in a timely manner. As the types and volumes of information available to the commander increase, this will place a greater importance on tools and techniques to collate, synthesise and visualise information in a timely and understandable way so that it can be readily acted upon. Different sources will have different degrees of assurance but combining multiple information sources greatly increases the robustness of the analysis – although we need to be able to show levels of certainty/uncertainty within the analysis.
