PSYOP R&D
"Effective application of informational power must be more broadly understood and deliberately incorporated into the full range of DoD strategies and operations, activities, and investments (OAIs) to support the advancement of national interests across the diplomatic, information, military, and economic instruments of national power in support of specific defense policy objectives."
(Department of War, Strategy For Operations In The Information Environment, July 2023)
Key Research Topics within UxS R&D
UxS in Tactical Deception
Our research investigates how UxS can employ misdirection, decoy signaling, and false target generation while maintaining resilient communications and autonomy. By blending operational experience with advanced modeling, we study how deception-enabled UxS can shape adversary perception and decision-making.
UxS Swarm Messaging
We examine the emerging role of swarming unmanned systems as distributed, adaptive communication and influence networks. Through AI-driven coordination and human-in-the-loop control, our research analyzes how UxS collectives can deliver synchronized psychological or informational effects.
UxS Infrasonics
Our research investigates the feasibility and behavioral impact of infrasonic emissions from unmanned platforms. We assess both natural and engineered acoustic phenomena to better understand how low-frequency sound can affect human perception, environmental sensing, and non-lethal area influence operations.
Non-kinetic Payloads
We study the integration of non-kinetic payloads, ranging from acoustic and optical systems to electromagnetic and cognitive effectors, into unmanned platforms. Our work emphasizes safety, ethics, and precision in the design and deployment of such systems, ensuring they can effectively complement ISR and influence operations.
Beijing understands it must leverage information and apply asymmetric techniques to counter and dominate its adversaries.
