L3Harris Technologies has launched AMORPHOUS, a software platform designed to control thousands of autonomous systems simultaneously through a single user interface. Built with an open architecture, it enables the U.S. and allied militaries to coordinate uncrewed platforms, payloads and systems from multiple manufacturers.

The software, which stands for Autonomous Multi-domain Operations Resiliency Platform for Heterogeneous Unmanned Swarms, provides a distributed command-and-control interface that enables operators to handle complex missions. It also supports decentralized decision-making, allowing uncrewed systems to act independently and make tactical choices in real time.

“Autonomy is a force multiplier, which is why we have designed AMORPHOUS as a multi-domain, multi-mission capability that rapidly integrates a variety of uncrewed systems across the battlespace,” says Jon Rambeau, President of Integrated Mission Systems at L3Harris.

AMORPHOUS is currently being developed under contracts for the U.S. Army and the Defense Innovation Unit. The software has been tested in government-run trials, proving its ability to control multiple autonomous assets across various environments.

L3Harris is working with venture-backed and non-traditional companies to speed up the development of new defence technologies.
