Cooperative Teaming and Mobility in Autonomy-Enabled Convoys

摘要

This paper presents an overview of cooperative teaming and mobility as they pertain to military autonomy-enabled convoy operations. In particular, we discuss the "cooperative trust game" and its application cooperative coalition formation in centralized and decentralized convoys. We also discuss novel work in calculating support-surface mobility estimates and how they can be leveraged to improve overall convoy mobility. Finally, we provide an overview of the state-of-the-art in military autonomous convoy technology, and how teaming and mobility theories can drive the innovation for the next generation of unmanned ground vehicle systems.
