and U.K.

institutions of higher education that is of potential interests to U.

S.

Department of Defense (DoD) and U.K Ministry of Defense (MOD).

The program is focused on international collaborative research efforts where teams from the United States and the United Kingdom combine unique skillsets and approaches to provide rapid advances in scientific areas of mutual interests to the U.

S.

DoD and UK MOD.

The area of interest is artificial intelligence (AI) and collaborative decision making.

The research goal is to progress beyond collaborative human-machine sense making to develop approaches that might also enable collaborative decision making.

The end goal is for humans and technology to be effective parts of the same team, with a machine behaving as an equal team member that can reason as well as its human team mates.

These teaming capabilities are an essential step toward a more general AI that is capable of true human-machine teaming.
