The goal is for CODE\u2019s human operator to monitor the swarm without micromanaging it, and instead to allow the autonomous drones to improvise and adjust as they pursue their mission.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The program manager has compared CODE technology to wolves hunting in coordinated packs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">DARPA tested the technology during a recent three-week series of exercises at Yuma Proving Ground in Arizona. The CODE systems, which included as many as six live and 24 virtual drones, collaborated to navigate, search, and engage both pre-planned and pop-up targets. According to a Nov. 19 release from the agency, the CODE-equipped systems demonstrated an ability to \u201cadapt and respond to unexpected threats in an anti-access area denial environment.\u201d This included preventing communications and GPS signals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When communications were degraded or denied, CODE vehicles were able to maintain their mission plan and accomplish mission objectives without direction from humans, the agency said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThe test series expanded on previously demonstrated approaches to low bandwidth collaborative sensing and on-board planning. It demonstrated the ability to operate in more challenging scenarios, where both communications and GPS navigation were denied for extended periods,\u201d said Scott Wierzbanowski, DARPA program manager for CODE.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The CODE program will continue under DARPA until it\u2019s anticipated conclusion in spring 2019.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The program\u2019s software repository will then be transitioned to the Naval Air Systems Command.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>DARPA says its new
