The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency is experimenting with sensors, artificial intelligence, drones and human psychology to better protect troops with technologies that can distinguish between threats and noncombatants. The Urban Reconnaissance through Supervised Autonomy (URSA) project aims to use autonomous systems to help the military detect hostile forces in cities and positively identify combatants before any U.S. troops come in contact with them.
FCW, Defense Systems' sibling site, talked with Army Lt. Col. Philip Root, the acting deputy director for DARPA's Tactical Technology Office, to get an update on URSA and how the Defense Department plans to forge relationships between humans and machines.
