Carmenta Receives Best Paper Award at GVSETS 2025

We are proud to announce that Carmenta yesterday received the Best Paper Award for our technical paper presented at the Autonomy, Artificial Intelligence & Robotics track at GVSETS 2025!

The paper “Optimizing Firing Position Usage for Survivability and Effectiveness in Artillery Shoot-and-Scoot Tactics” was officially presented at GVSETS (Ground Vehicle Systems Engineering and Technology Symposium) in Novi, Michigan. It was co-authored by software engineers Thomas Jonsson Damgaard and Mikael Rittri, PhD.

The paper explores how artillery units can select and relocate between firing positions to reduce vulnerability and maintain operational effectiveness. It introduces  and evaluates algorithmic approaches that balance travel time with strict rules on avoiding previously used locations. The paper shows that one can get good solutions reasonably fast by running a randomized algorithm repeatedly and that problem reduction via independent sets can improve performance.
