Amorphous, a powerful platform for autonomous drone control.

Amorphous uses TO THE for control in Multidomain space

L3Harris presented Amorphous, a software platform for controlling swarms of unmanned systems across multiple domains, allowing aerial drones, ships, and other platforms to operate together seamlessly.

The software, based on aopen and scalable architecture, is designed to handle thousands of payloads, meeting the U.S. Department of Defense's needs for advanced autonomous systems integration.

Jon Rambeau, president of integrated mission systems at L3Harris, described it as a “orchestra conductor” for the command and control of autonomous fleets. "The challenge is no longer managing tens or hundreds of assets, but thousands simultaneously, something impossible with human control alone," he said.

Unlike models based on a “mother ship”, Amorphous coordinate one “leaderless swarm”, distributing commands across all platforms. This reduces operational risk in the event of a loss of communications or the incapacitation of a key unit, explained Toby Magsig, vice president of autonomous systems.

Amorphous It has already been tested in Pentagon programs such as Replicator, which aims to deploy thousands of drones by August, and builds on L3Harris' experiences with the Project Overmatch of the US Navy and Army.

For Replicator, L3Harris, together with Anduril Industries And Swarm Aero, demonstrates the ability to coordinate hundreds of platforms within the initiative Autonomous Collaborative Teaming, managed by Defense Innovation Unit.

Rambeau highlighted the importance of aopen architecture, with third-party accessible interfaces to ensure maximum compatibility. “This is a key element to the success of Amorphous“, he stressed.

Magsig confirmed that the software has already been tested at several events and that many more demonstrations will follow.
