engaging operators, customers, and mission stakeholders to understand mission requirements and constraints; developing tactics, techniques, and procedures (TTPs) and concepts of operations (CONOPS) aligned with customers’ mission-essential tasks; and supporting operator familiarization, training, and documentation for effective autonomy-system use.
