Operational Problem A: Sustaining forces in a contested and dispersed theatre of operations

• Survivable or attritable logistics platforms
• Operationalising advanced manufacturing at the tactical edge
• Assured command and control of logistic network nodes

Operational Problem B: Advancing interoperability and integration of autonomous systems for multi-domain operations

• Enabling ad-hoc interoperability between disparate systems
• Synchronizing cross-domain command and control
• Managing cyber and EW threats

Operational Problem C: Detecting, identifying and defeating low-cost, rapidly proliferating UxS threats to infrastructure, personnel and manoeuvre force

• Detection and discrimination of small, low signature threats
• Balancing layered and cost-effective defeat mechanisms
• Attritable and mobile C-UxS capabilities

Operational Problem D: Gaining an edge and winning autonomous warfare

• Using autonomous systems for control rather than just denial
• Sustaining autonomous system operations
• Improving autonomous system lethality and reliability

Operational Problem E: Generating combat power inside the enemy's weapons engagement zone

• Equipping and fielding edge/stand-in forces/mission area 1 forces in contested environments
• C3 of forces in highly contested environments
• Use of concealment, camouflage, deception, and EW to survive inside the WEZ

Operational Problem F: Countering against next-gen undersea threats and protecting critical infrastructure

• Detection and defeat of autonomous undersea vehicles
• Surveillance and protection of deep-sea infrastructure
• Using the seabed for military advantage
