Research integrating human-machine systems is one of the core competencies driving ARLIS’s existence as a university-affiliated research center (UARC). This August the U.S. Army Combat Capabilities Development Command Army Research Laboratory (DEVCOM ARL) hosted its third set of Field Experiment events to showcase systems developed through its Artificial Intelligence and Autonomy for Multi-Agent Systems (ArtIAMAS) cooperative agreement with the University of Maryland (UMD).

ARLIS has teamed up with the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign (UIUC) as a member of its Intelligence and Security University Research Enterprise (INSURE) academic consortium in support of the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency (NGA). The team is mapping coastlines and seafloor environments more effectively by designing intuitive interfaces and workflows to enhance spatial resolution and computational performance. Ultimately this research will make it easier for NGA analysts to generate better informed analysis.
