Our research will range from expanding Trustworthy, Reliable, Explainable, Fair, Robust and Secure ML Algorithms and AI Systems for multidomain operations as well as civilian applications.  Recognizing the challenges posed by insufficiently reliable AI enabled autonomy, which demands extensive operator intervention, our core focus is developing and implementing cutting-edge technologies and methodologies that enable autonomous systems to assume a more dependable role, thus reducing the operational burden on human operators.  We aim to create a more fluid and efficient collaboration between humans and autonomous systems by addressing the complexities of human-machine interactions, joint learning and reasoning to foster seamless human-machine teaming, and mixed-initiative control. 

We will educate, develop and sustain a large and sustained workforce through public awareness, undergraduate and graduate education and outreach activities. Human Capitol Development: The biggest challenge faced by the DoD is the need to dramatically accelerate the delivery of new capabilities and new technologies for defense missions. AI enabled autonomy is the most direct approach to attacking this challenge. The CoE AIML provides ways to ensure that the quality and quantity of sound technical leaders for a competitive advantage for the DoD and defense industrial base.

A more supportive and welcoming community is essential to advancing the field of AI/ML research and education.
