Provide for economic prosperity, weather forecasting, scientific discovery, critical infrastructure, and national security. Conversely, other nations seek to position themselves as leading space powers while undermining the stability and tranquility that allows space to benefit all nations. Some u. S. Competitors are implementing a sustained effort to develop a broad range of offensive counterspace capabilities through a variety of anti-satellite (asat) weapons, including direct attacks on satellites, jamming and spoofing of signals, and continued cyberattacks on satellite and ground infrastructure. Use of these weapons could have serious consequences for all nations that benefit from space-based systems.

To develop the theory and algorithms for decentralized coordination and local inference control to enable a scalable, adaptive, and resilient collective of heterogeneous ai agents that can autonomously execute sustained long-time-horizon missions in contested environments while remaining under human control. In contrast to small-scale, rigid, and fragile centralized orchestration or the high-risk unpredictable nature of ad hoc compositions of ai agents, dice aims to harness the scalability and adaptability of self-organizing systems while minimizing risks and ensuring that the collective behavior remains predictable and aligned with intended outcomes. This approach mirrors the principles of decentralized self-organization that underpin the internet's own scalability and resilience, where robust global behavior emerges from simple, local rules.
