ACTUV Tactics in brief
Players steered a simulated unmanned vessel, using its sonars and other sensors, to follow a submarine through missions of rising complexity while sharing the water with commercial shipping. DARPA released it in April 2011 to collect tactics from many players before autonomous software was written for the real vessel. Five vessel variants fed public high-score lists.
