CPE MA seeks to identify industry capabilities for providing software and hardware solutions designed to establish a safety assured control and security architecture for uncrewed air, ground, and maritime platforms. This includes integrated lethal and non-lethal payloads operated either remotely or autonomously.

The objective is to achieve an independently verifiable level of assured control, especially regarding safety–critical functions of robotic autonomous systems under various supervisory modes. These modes span from active operator involvement (operator-in-the-loop), conditional oversight (on-the-loop), to full local autonomy, applicable across multiple operational environments.
