Multi System Mission Control for Teams of Unmanned Marine Vehicles – Software Structure for Online Replanning of Mission Plans
نویسندگان
چکیده
The realization of cooperative Multiple Unmanned Marine Vehicles (MUMVs) is a real challenge, due to the conditions of the marine environment. In this paper we show the necessary steps of developments to enable already existing, single autonomous vehicles to participate in a team mission. We describe the design of the control software and put an emphasis on the task of Online Replanning of the vehicles’ mission plans. This Online Replanning is one of the critical issues in the realization of vehicle teams, as existing single autonomous vehicles usually do not use this functionality.

Evolution-Based Deliberative Planning for Cooperating Unmanned Ground Vehicles in a Dynamic Environment
Many challenges remain in the development of tactical planning systems that will enable automated, cooperative replanning of routes and mission assignments for multiple unmanned ground vehicles (UGVs) under changing environmental and tactical conditions. We have developed such a planning system that uses an evolutionary algorithm to assign waypoints and mission goals to multiple UGVs so that th...
متن کاملAssessing operator strategies for adjusting replan alerts in controlling multiple unmanned vehicles
This study examined the impact of allowing an operator to adjust the rate of prompts to view automation-generated plans on operator performance and workload when supervising a decentralized network of heterogeneous unmanned vehicles. Background: Future unmanned vehicles systems will invert the operator-to-vehicle ratio so that one operator can control multiple vehicles with different capabiliti...

This paper describes operator, flight, and in-water experiments with autonomy and human interface technologies for management of multiple unmanned air, sea surface, and undersea vehicles. The vehicles were managed by a single operator based on high-level mission objectives, constraints, risks, and priorities. The scenarios explored contingencies and changes in tasking that required both operato...
متن کاملMission Planning and Monitoring for Heterogeneous Unmanned Vehicle Teams: A Human-Centered Perspective
Future unmanned systems in the military will be highly heterogeneous in nature, with vehicles from multiple domains—aerial, underwater, and land—working in collaborative teams to complete a variety of missions. The complexity of supervising these teams will be enormous and will rely on human creativity, judgment, and experience. Therefore, the design and development of mission planning and moni...
متن کاملAn Agent-based Heterogeneous UAV Simulator Design
To facilitate the evaluation of alternative mission planning models for teams of Unmanned Air Vehicles (UAVs), a multi-agent simulation system was designed and developed. The system, referred to as Ether, is designed to be more generally applicable to a wide variety of agent-oriented systems. The simulator design has the flexibility to support a wide variety of mission planning models, yet prov...
