IMS President Jon Rambeau: The Next Era of Autonomous Defense

By Jon Rambeau, L3Harris Technologies

L3Harris has a proud legacy of autonomy spanning decades. Our deep expertise, combined with a culture of collaboration, positions us as the Trusted Disruptor in defense technology. Today, we stand on the cusp of a breakthrough moment. Autonomous systems have matured across air, sea and subsurface domains, but the challenge remains: how do we operate not just a handful, but thousands of autonomous assets simultaneously and effectively?

To meet this challenge, we developed AMORPHOUS™, an open-architecture system designed to scale and manage thousands of autonomous assets at once. With AMORPHOUS, we are pushing the boundaries of autonomous control and tackling today’s most pressing challenges in large-scale autonomy.
