It wouldn\u2019t be used for the operation of the drone swarm, weapons integration or targeting authority, the two people said. All of the people asked not to be named to discuss sensitive matters that aren\u2019t public.<\/p>\n<p>The effort is part of a $100 million Pentagon prize challenge announced in January that\u2019s intended to deliver prototypes for technology that can command swarms of drones capable of making decisions and execute missions without human intervention. The six-month competition will progress in phases, depending on the success and interest of the participants, the people said.<\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/blockads.fivefilters.org\"> <\/a><\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/blockads.fivefilters.org\/acceptable.html\"> <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8230; has partnered with two defense <span class=\"match\">technology<\/span> companies that the Pentagon has &#8230; with the matter.
