SEE ATTACHED UPDATED ANNOUNCEMENT FOR SPECIFIC TOPICS OF INTEREST IN CYCLE 3 AND SUBMISSION INFORMATION** **CYCLE 2 POSTED ON 8 FEBRUARY 2021. SEE ATTACHED UPDATED ANNOUNCEMENT FOR SPECIFIC TOPICS OF INTEREST IN CYCLE 2 AND SUBMISSION INFORMATION** Purpose: Future Army forces will need to conduct cross-domain maneuver (CDM) and at times, operate semi-independently, disbursed, and while communications and infrastructure such as Global Positioning System (GPS) are disrupted or denied. Robotics and Autonomous Systems (RAS) will play a key role in expanding the operational reach, situational awareness, and effectiveness of maneuver forces in CDM. The Combat Capabilities Development Command (CCDC) Army Research Laboratory (ARL) is focused on developing fundamental understanding and informing the art-of-the-possible for warfighter concepts through research to greatly improve air and ground based autonomous vehicle perception, learning, reasoning, communication, navigation, and physical capabilities to augment and increase the freedom of maneuver in complex and contested environments. The Scalable, Adaptive, and Resilient Autonomy (SARA) program is focused on developing and experimentally accelerating emerging research in autonomous mobility and maneuverability, scalable heterogeneous and collaborative behaviors, and human agent teaming to realize adaptive and resilient Intelligent Systems that can reason about the environment, work in distributed and collaborative heterogeneous teams, and make op-tempo decisions to enable Autonomous Maneuver in complex and contested environments. In order to achieve this vision, advancements are needed in following: Novel methods for all-terrain ground and aerial maneuver to interact with and move through complex environments. Methods for scalable and heterogeneous collaborative behaviors in support of collaborative air and ground manned-unmanned teaming operations. Techniques for improved perception, decision-making, and adaptive behaviors for fully autonomous maneuver in contested environments. Methods, metrics, and tools to facilitate, simulate, and enable testing and evaluation of emerging approaches for intelligent and autonomous systems under Army relevant constraints and environments Experimental testbeds to develop and refine knowledge products to inform and transition technology to Army stakeholders.

Gender based violence (GBV) in Guatemala has increased significantly during the pandemic and vulnerable populations including minors are among the victims. The Secretariat Against Sexual Violence, Exploitation, and Trafficking in Persons (SVET) of the Guatemalan Government is the entity with the mandate to ensure the coordination of the prevention, security, justice, welfare, and attention from local authorities to victims and create awareness of these crimes. Cultural awareness and crime prevention in Guatemala have been delegated to the National Civil Police (PNC). However, there are multiple institutions who work with SVET that need to take a more active role in addressing these crimes. The Ministry of Education (MINEDUC) is one of these stakeholders, who has the key responsibility of promoting positive values and addressing these kinds of issues with the next generation of Guatemalans. SVET has interinstitutional agreements between them and both MINEDUC and PNC to coordinate and collaborate in topics related to sexual violence, exploitation, and TIP. Standardize and strengthen SVET, with strong knowledge in sexual crimes, exploitation, trafficking in persons (TIP) and a capable train the trainer program to coordinate all the Government of Guatemala (GoG) institutions to conduct awareness campaigns to combat sexual and GBV by rejecting stereotypes and cultural norms that permit these crimes. In addition, empower SVET to identify and initiate through corresponding authorities investigations against criminal structures engaged in money laundering and human trafficking.
