Fusion of Cooperative Information Sharing for Uncrewed Air Systems (FOCISAUS)

Department of DefenseUSAF

AI Overview

FOCISAUS seeks prototype solutions for sharing and fusing sensor data across multiple uncrewed aircraft to improve situational awareness and reduce blind spots. The technology must handle bandwidth constraints, process data in real-time, and deliver actionable perception outputs for autonomous systems or operators.

Official Description

Distributed air operations increasingly depend on timely awareness of objects, hazards, and activities beyond the field of view of any individual platform. Cooperative perception offers a path to extend sensing coverage and reduce blind spots by allowing multiple platforms and supporting nodes to share sensor-derived information. Yet this benefit is limited by the large size of modern sensor data, the variability of wireless links, the need for rapid decision making, and the difficulty of combin...

Informational change · Description

Fusion of Cooperative Information Sharing for Uncrewed Air Systems (FOCISAUS)

  • Two new Q&A entries were added (no prior version existed, so both appear as new):
    • Q1 (test conditions): Asks which link outages or bandwidth changes the government wants reproduced so the test reflects operating conditions. This is a test-environment question, signaling that the evaluation will simulate degraded or variable network conditions.
    • Q2 (demonstration priority): Asks which mission should be prioritized for the first demonstration using air and ground sensing nodes. This points to a demonstration scenario built around combined air and ground sensing.

Why it matters for applicants: Neither entry includes an answer yet, so no eligibility, budget, timeline, security, or submission requirements have been clarified. Applicants should expect the test to involve network disruption scenarios and a multi-platform sensing demonstration. Watch for answers to these questions, since they will likely define the technical test scope.
