The system’s purpose is to make mission planning simpler for human operators by allowing them to communicate more easily. It lets operators focus their efforts on objectives instead of translating plans into acceptable formats for specific aircraft. The Navy anticipates it will make autonomous aircraft easier to incorporate into the fleet. The Navy’s Portfolio Acquisition Executives Munitions, which oversees naval weapons and strike capabilities, said on Tuesday that the service had successfully demonstrated the new Collaborative Autonomy Mission Planning tool, or CAMP. In a new release, officials said CAMP was shown off during a maritime environment test at Point Mugu Sea range in California earlier this month. Is this the start of autonomous wars?
