COLLEGE PARK, Md. The U.S. Army plans to cooperate in artificial intelligence research with teams led by the University of Maryland, College Park and in partnership with the University of Maryland, Baltimore County. The cooperative agreement brings together a collaborative of nearly 30 diverse experts in engineering, robotics, computer science, operations research, modeling and simulation, and cybersecurity.
With the Army s goal of seeking transformational advances in artificial intelligence and autonomy, Army and academic officials said this partnership will accelerate the development and deployment of safe, effective and resilient capabilities and technologies, from wearable devices to unmanned aircraft, that work intelligently and in cooperation with each other and with human actors across multiple environments.

The joint effort will aim to advance multiple projects focused on AI, autonomy, and modeling and simulation.
U.S. military and academic researchers are set to explore emerging artificial intelligence applications and form a shared hub to advance how intelligent machines operate with one another and humans across multiple domains.
Those efforts and others to develop autonomous air- and ground-based technologies will unfold under a new five-year cooperative agreement between the Army Research Laboratory and University of Maryland.
“ARL is always interested in engaging with academic institutions to address unique Army challenges,” Karl Kappra, director of ARL’s Futures Division, told
