Ursa

Ursa or the Ursa Program was part of a Mantle artificial intelligence experiment and a briefly applied means of producing stronger and smarter combat AIs. The theory stated that if a combat AI was raised like an animal (living being), it would develop strong survival insticts and be far more effective in combat. It is named for the constellation.

History
Besides the main goal of the Ursa program, very little about its history, the people involved, or the timeline of the program.

Scrapped robots and cyborgs are where most of the data comes from. It is asummed that the specific information was too sensitive to risk leaking to the public, so it was either stored in a secured location or destroyed sometime before the program's completion.

Known Creations
Chelsea, an advanced AI that now inhabits a makeshift warframe, is a prime example of the effects of the Ursa project.

The Locust was also created partially by the dat collected from Ursa.
