Applications
Three outcomes. One model.
Speed, safety, and security are not three products. The same model produces all three, on the record with the U.S. Army, TRADOC, and DTRA.
ON RECORD · U.S. ARMY · TRADOC · DTRA
Speed.
Fully autonomous. Zero workload.
For DTRA, the Defense Threat Reduction Agency, it ran fully autonomously, with no operator workload at all. In the Army’s TRADOC evaluation, with machines driving themselves or sharing control with a person, missions ran 50 percent faster with 67 percent less operator workload.
0%
Operator workload in fully autonomous operation.
DTRA
Safety.
Zero, measured twice.
Expert remote drivers logged 81 impacts on the course. MIM’s built-in collision avoidance logged none. A separate government evaluation, run by TRADOC, found the same.
0 vs 81
Impacts on identical courses, against elite remote drivers.
IDENTICAL COURSES
Security.
Position that does not depend on satellites.
GPS is a single point of failure an adversary can switch off. MIM, the Motion Intelligence Model, takes its position from the machines themselves. Under active jamming it loses performance gradually instead of failing.
