The U.S. Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) has
awarded BAE Systems an $8.3 million contract to develop an advanced
autonomy system to speed operational planning under the Strategic
Chaos Engine for Planning, Tactics, Experimentation, and Resiliency
(SCEPTER) program.

The SCEPTER program is designed to develop machine-generated
strategies to be evaluated within trusted simulation environments
with thorough human review.
“Successful planning is about developing trusted, resilient
operational plans for complex decision spaces,” said Marco Pravia,
chief scientist at BAE Systems’ FAST Labs. “The SCEPTER system will
push the state-of-the-art in the production of machine-generated
strategies.”
SCEPTER is planned as a two-phase, three-year planning
program.
Under the terms of the Phase 1 contract, BAE Systems’ FAST Labs™
research and development organization will provide the
machine-learning backed system and execute tests to demonstrate the
approach. In this program, the BAE Systems team will collaborate
with Professor Igor Mezic and AIMdyn, a small woman-owned business,
and with Professor Joao Hespanha, an expert in control and
multi-agent systems.
The SCEPTER program adds to the BAE Systems’ extensive autonomy
portfolio, previous work combining games and simulations, and a
20-year history of pioneering autonomy technology.
