Adaptive Tactical Behaviors Competition

Robotic Research participated in the Adaptive Tactical Behaviors Competition organized by the Army Research Lab (ARL) and the Army War College. In this competition red and blue team forces fought in a simulated environment. This environment was designed to test the tactical capabilities of both teams. As with most tactical systems, the ability to predict the other teams movement is imperitive to victory.

The Army War College created a panel to select the most likely candidates from a field of about 50 proposers. Robotic Research was one of the three teams that were chosen to compete. The competition was a prolonged set of head-to-head presenting a number of scenarios, and apriori knowledge. Some of the techniques presented in the this proposal, allowed our tactical system to outpredict, and therefore outmaeuver our comperitors, in various game scenarios. Our overall score (kills, mission completions, and observation points) was more than double that of our closest competitors. Our TACTIC prediction system was instrumental in our success.
