Three rovers + base station explore the lunar subsurface via coordinated GPR. The Strategic Planner (MEXEC) schedules surveys and sleep windows when midday temperatures hit 140 °C.
NASA JPL · CADRE · Multi-Agent Autonomy
CADRE deploys three autonomous rovers to Reiner Gamma — leader election, GPR formation sync, thermal midday sleep, power budgeting — all without Earth in the loop. Mission Oracle validates distributed PS&E plans locally with receipt JSON before sim or test rovers.

JPL's V&V team must prove all autonomy layers integrate through sim and test rovers — but distributed plan defects surface late. Assurance for Autonomy calls for automated oracles, not exhaustive manual review.

Catches leader conflicts, thermal violations, power overruns.
