OFFICE OF THE SECRETARY OF DEFENSE 3140 DEFENSE PENTAGON WASHINGTON, DC 20301–3140 DEFENSE SCIENCE BOARD June 10, <strong>2016</strong> MEMORANDUM FOR UNDER SECRETARY OF DEFENSE FOR ACQUISITION, TECHNOLOGY & LOGISTICS SUBJECT: Final Report of the Defense Science Board (DSB) Summer Study on Autonomy I am pleased to forward the final report of the DSB Summer Study on Autonomy. This report offers important recommendations to identify the science, engineering, and policy problems that must be solved to permit greater operational use of autonomy across all warfighting domains. The study focused on three areas: institutional and enterprise strategies to widen the use of autonomy; approaches to strengthening the operational pull for autonomous systems; and an approach accelerate the advancement of the technology for autonomy applications and capabilities. The study concluded that action is needed in all three areas to build trust and enable the most effective use of autonomy for the defense of the nation. This report provides focused recommendations to improve the future adoption and use of autonomous systems. Recommendations also include 10 example projects intended to demonstrate the range of benefits of autonomy for the warfighter. The study also provides thoughts on how to expand the available technology for the use of autonomy for defense through several innovative technology stretch problem challenges. I fully endorse all of the recommendations contained in this report and urge their careful consideration and soonest adoption. Craig Fields Chairman i
