MUM-T Strikeforce: The Army Training Game for Manned-Unmanned Teaming

MUM-T stands for Manned Unmanned-Teaming, the practice of manned aircraft working together with unmanned aerial systems. The US Army treats it as a critical capability, and research and development around it has grown quickly over two decades. That growth affects how unmanned systems are used and also how manned aircraft and integrated bases are designed.

Better technology alone does not raise capability, because aircrews also need training strategies that do not overload them with tasks. MUM-T Strikeforce was built for that gap. Camber Corporation developed it for the US Army's Product Manager for Tactical Unmanned Aircraft Systems as an online, multiplayer, multiplatform game that was fielded for training.

It runs as a mobile learning application on a large, dynamic virtual environment and trains two groups: unmanned aircraft system operators and Apache helicopter pilots. The Army takes lessons learned and best practices from the past decade and keeps looking for new ways to raise capability without task saturating aircrews.

The game's goal is to teach the fundamental tactics of MUM-T in a cooperative setting. Each player brings a skill set and has to work as part of one cohesive team of manned and unmanned platforms against enemy forces, so every role depends on the others. Aviators in different places can play against each other on different devices.

The challenge is working together to overcome the enemy. The missions use MUM-T tactics to defend ambushed troops and to secure convoys. They end in an air assault operation, supported by manned and unmanned aircraft, to liberate a captured U.S. military facility.

The 2015 result was Camber Corporation's third winning year in a row at the Serious Games Showcase & Challenge. MUM-T Strikeforce took the government game award, and the attendees of the I/ITSEC conference, who vote for the People's Choice Award, picked it as well. In 2014 Camber won Best Mobile Game and the People's Choice Award with Eagle Eye. In 2013 it won the same two awards with GORRDEE.

No current official page for MUM-T Strikeforce could be read in November 2026. Camber Corporation's website gave no page content, and no other source opened for this article says whether the game is still in use, was replaced or was retired. Its availability is therefore not confirmed.
