Experimental simulation development and support for Human-Autonomy Teaming

The goal of this project is to develop, modify, and support ANVEL and Unreal simulation environments and scenarios for use in Human-Autonomy Teaming research, including rapid creation/adaptation of simulated physical assets, environments, and vehicles for use in answering specific research questions. The ideal candidate will have experience in computer science and game or simulation development, including Unreal engine programming skills, as well as an interest in applying these skills to Army-relevant research questions. This is part of the Army Research Laboratory Research Associateship Program (ARL-RAP), designed to significantly increase the involvement of creative and highly trained scientists and engineers from academia and industry in scientific and technical areas of interest and relevance to the Army. The Human Research and Engineering Directorate (HRED) is ARL's principal center for research and development directed toward optimizing Soldier performance and human-autonomy teaming, focusing on how to improve Soldier performance in a dynamic and changing battlefield environment.
