The Autonodyne approach is placing increasing autonomy in system design. This is intended to take more of the cognitive burden off human operators/supervisors and serves as a force multiplier to make the human and machine a more capable team. While software is our principal product, the combination of our software running on a mobile device, workstation, and/or on-board mission computer becomes the tangible product.

​

In the ideal scenario, the software is uses sensor input feeds to accurately sense its environment, devise a game plan, and automatically execute that game plan. When it has communications reach-back to the human operators, it provides visualizations that indicate to the human what the software has concluded and is executing. The human can either let the software run its course or intervene to override or command some alternative action or behavior. We attempt to make these visualizations of the system a piece of “functional artwork.”

​

The human operator can let the software run fully autonomously, select software-provided suggested courses of action, or perform other variations of command and control that require more human input. This implies that system and software architectures must be able to provide trusted autonomy, and this is a big part of our designs.

​

These “functional artwork” control stations support pre-mission planning/rehearsal minutes/hours/days ahead of any mission, mission-time execution command/control, and post-mission debrief/evaluation/training capabilities.
