Advanced Communications Experiment – Cross-border Autonomous Vehicle Session Persistence Experiment and Research
Summary
The Department of Homeland Security Science and Technology Directorate, together with Defence Research and Development Canada Centre for Security Science, seeks sources to demonstrate secure, resilient 5G session persistence for autonomous vehicles and unmanned aerial systems in a cross‑border emergency experiment. The effort focuses on validating 5G connectivity and command‑and‑control interoperability rather than autonomous decision‑making, highlighting the importance of advanced communications technology for bi‑national response coordination.
