Provide human-centered, automated support of individual and distributed team information processing and decision-making to achieve information dominance and decision supremacy.
Develop affordable sensors that provide continuous situation awareness, rapid precise discrimination and targeting in all environments, and the ability to sense surroundings so as to navigate rapidly and defend oneself.
Provide technologies that enable a fully-mobile, fully-communicating, agile, situation-aware, and survivable lightweight force with internetted C4ISR systems.
Advance fundamental sciences and understanding of efficient lightweight compact power and propulsion technologies needed for the individual soldier, fuel-efficient vehicles, and robotic platforms of the Future Force.
Develop critical robotics technology essential for unmanned ground elements of the objective force. Robotics technology will provide future land combat forces with significant new operational capabilities permitting paradigm shifts in the conduct of ground warfare, concurrent with significantly greater survivability and deployability of U. S. forces.
