Jake Freeman

Jake Freeman has over 10 years of experience performing government-sponsored artificial intelligence research and over 15 years of experience designing and building small life science micro-gravity experiment payloads. He leads the Autonomy Systems Office that supports ongoing government research and development of flight autonomy, mission autonomy, and manned-unmanned teaming interfaces. We apply doctrine, law of war, and intent from across the echelons of command to execute predictable, explainable autonomous action.
