Fu & Dixon Work To Achieve Strategic Dominance

Dr. Jie Fu (PI) has been awarded $1.3 million in funding from the DEVCOM Army Research Laboratory for the project titled “Strategic Planning in Hierarchical Games: Achieving Rapid Dominance in the Uncertain World of Conflict (Shadow),” under Cooperative Agreement #W911NF-25-2-0045. Distinguished Professor Warren Dixon, chair of the Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering at the University of Florida, serves as co-PI on the project.

Led by the University of Florida in collaboration with RTX BBN Technologies, the team will enable a team of robotic and autonomous systems (RASs) to establish strategic advantage in scenarios involving potential adversarial interactions. Fu and Dixon plan to introduce a unified framework that integrates game-theoretic strategic decision-making with flexible multi-agent maneuver algorithms.

Fu’s work utilizes game theory, a branch of mathematics concerned with the analysis of strategies for dealing with competitive situations where the outcome of a participant’s choice of action depends critically on the actions of other participants.
