Distributed battle management of a group of autonomous agents e.g., unmanned air systems (UAS) facing a highly capable adversary, requires controlling a group of semi-isolated small teams, operating under extensive uncertainty about the enemy situation and also about the status and plans of some of its own agents. Barnstorm Research developed Trust, Refrain and Veto (TReVe), which allows agents to maintain higher situational awareness of teammates when in a denied communications environment. Barnstorm Research has shown that TReVe increases mission success via simulation when onboard RAIDER/FACE-enabled UAS in a denied communications environment.
