L3Harris on Monday unveiled a software platform, Amorphous, for controlling large swarms of uncrewed systems across multiple domains, allowing aerial drones, ships and other platforms to operate together seamlessly.
The software is designed with an open architecture to be platform-agnostic and scalable. To date, the company has demonstrated the ability to connect multiple systems, but it envisions Amorphous eventually managing thousands of payloads — a key requirement for the U.S. Defense Department as it looks to better integrate uncrewed systems into operations.
Jon Rambeau, president of integrated mission systems at L3Harris, told reporters in a briefing last week the company’s vision is for Amorphous to serve as an orchestra conductor, helping operators command and control autonomous systems.
“One of the big problems that has yet to be solved is, how do you think about the control of, not 10, not 100, not even 1,000, but thousands of assets simultaneously,” Rambeau said. “That’s really not something that’s possible to do with human control only.”
