Advanced C2 Software for Autonomous Swarm Operations Released

L3Harris Technologies has released AMORPHOUS™ autonomy software, which features a single user interface to operate thousands of autonomous assets simultaneously.

AMORPHOUS (Autonomous Multi-domain Operations Resiliency Platform for Heterogeneous Unmanned Swarms), includes an intuitive and distributed command-and-control interface to give operators the flexibility to conduct a wider range of intricate military missions. 

Designed with an open architecture, the manufacturer-agnostic software enables militaries to control a mix of uncrewed platforms, payloads and systems. This collaborative autonomy at scale will provide warfighters with a decisive overmatch capability.

AMORPHOUS has demonstrated its flexibility and interoperability by controlling multiple separate assets across varied vehicle types operating in different domains during government-managed tests.

AMORPHOUS supports decentralized decision-making, which enables individual uncrewed assets to perform their own tasks autonomously and make real-time tactical decisions inside the network.

Jon Rambeau, President, Integrated Mission Systems, L3Harris, commented, “Autonomy is a force multiplier, which is why we have designed AMORPHOUS as a multi-domain, multi-mission capability that rapidly integrates a variety of uncrewed systems across the battlespace. This project also highlights L3Harris’ partnerships with venture-backed and non-traditional companies to mature emerging defense capabilities more quickly and affordably.”

Prototypes are currently being developed by L3Harris using the AMORPHOUS architecture on contracts for the U.S. Army and the Defense Innovation Unit.
