L3Harris Technologies has introduced AMORPHOUS™, a software platform designed to operate thousands of autonomous assets simultaneously through a single user interface. Built with an open architecture, AMORPHOUS allows the U.S. and allied militaries to control and coordinate a diverse range of uncrewed platforms, payloads, and systems, regardless of manufacturer.
The software—formally named the Autonomous Multi-domain Operations Resiliency Platform for Heterogeneous Unmanned Swarms—features an intuitive, distributed command-and-control interface, providing operators with enhanced flexibility for complex military missions. This scalable collaborative autonomy is expected to deliver a decisive operational advantage.
“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,” said Jon Rambeau, President of Integrated Mission Systems at L3Harris. “This project also highlights L3Harris’ partnerships with venture-backed and non-traditional companies to accelerate the development of emerging defense capabilities in a cost-effective manner.”
L3Harris is currently developing prototypes based on the AMORPHOUS architecture under contracts with the U.S. Army and the Defense Innovation Unit. The software has already demonstrated its flexibility and interoperability in government-managed tests, successfully controlling multiple uncrewed assets across different vehicle types and operational domains.
A key feature of AMORPHOUS is its support for decentralized decision-making, enabling uncrewed systems to execute autonomous tasks and make real-time tactical decisions within a connected network.
