OFFensive Swarm-Enabled Tactics (OFFSET) Third Field Experiment
In its third field experiment, DARPA's OFFensive Swarm-Enabled Tactics
(OFFSET) program deployed swarms of autonomous air and ground vehicles to
demonstrate a raid in an urban area. The field experiment took place at the
Combined Arms Collective Training Facility (CACTF) at the Camp Shelby Joint
Forces Training Center in Mississippi.
The OFFSET program envisions swarms of up to 250 collaborative autonomous
systems providing critical insights to small ground units in urban areas
where limited sight lines and tight spaces can obscure hazards, as well as
constrain mobility and communications
