چکیده

Future unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) are designed to fly at long range and high endurance, and to perform complex and demanding tasks such as surveillance and reconnaissance, electronic warfare, command and control, target acquisition, and weapon guidance. The current preprogrammed ground control strategy will not be able to meet the task complexity, long range and high endurance requirements. In this paper we describe a multi-agent operator interface developed to resolve the challenging issues in controlling future UAVs, including:

A New Single-Display Intelligent Adaptive Interface for Controlling a Group of UAVs

The increasing use of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) or drones in different civil and military operations has attracted attention of many researchers and science communities. One of the most notable challenges in this field is supervising and controlling a group or a team of UAVs by a single user. Thereupon, we proposed a new intelligent adaptive interface (IAI) to overcome to this challenge. ...

Collaborative model of interaction and Unmanned Vehicle Systems' interface

The interface for the next generation of Unmanned Vehicle Systems should be an interface with multi-modal displays and input controls. Then, the role of the interface will not be restricted to be a support of the interactions between the ground operator and vehicles. Interface must take part in the interaction management too. In this paper, we show that recent works in pragmatics and philosophy...

A Hybrid, Multi-Agent Model of Foraging Bottlenose Dolphins

Social behavior of animals can offer solution models for missions involving a large number of heterogeneous vehicles, such as light combat ships, unmanned aerial vehicles, and unmanned underwater vehicles. We draw inspiration from the foraging techniques of bottlenose dolphins to address the problem of heterogeneous multi-agent herding. We produce a hybrid automaton model of the entire foraging...

Mitigating Unmanned System Operations Challenges Through Shared, Collaborative Control

Unmanned vehicle (UxV) operations for Mine Countermeasures (MCM) offer the benefit of removing operators from minefields but pose unique operational challenges. On the Littoral Combat Ship (LCS), MCM UxV operations are performed by a team of up to seven operators and consist of multiple UxV systems, including vehicles (e.g., the Unmanned Surface Vehicle (USV), and the Remote Multi-Mission Vehic...
