This paper presents the concept of unmanned vehicle situation awareness and provides a discussion of how unmanned vehicle situation awareness can be defined based upon human situation awareness. A broadly accepted human situation awareness definition is directly applied to the notion of unmanned vehicle situation awareness. The paper also discusses unique unmanned vehicle aspects that will infl...

Due to the advantages such as high flexibility, low cost and easy implementation offered by unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), a UAV-assisted network is regard an appealing solution seamless coverage, disaster-tolerant on-demand wireless system. In this paper, we focus on downlink transmission in cache-enabled communication network, where UAVs cache popular content from macro base station advance...

This project describes the implementation of a BDI architecture for solving problems of collaboration and coordination among aerial mobile robots used through Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV). A Multi-Agent System is implemented in people search and it is developed on Jason software.The benefits of developing this model is diverse such as optimizing the collaborative work among intelligent agents ...

This paper describes the design of Compact, accurate and inexpensive Fuzzy Logic Controllers and Fuzzy Inference Systems which estimates the attitude of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles(UAV).Attitude refers to parameters of Unmanned Aerial Vehicle such as latitude, longitude and altitude and angles of rotation known as pitch and roll. A Soft Computing technique called Fuzzy Logic is used to design the ...

This paper presents an idea-phase introduction of a tactical level communication system (battalion and below). The introduced communication system utilizes Unmanned Aircraft Systems to ensure the message throughput and to receive and transmit large quantities of data requiring wide bandwidth. The introduced communication system enables utilizing different waveforms and frequencies when communic...

This research analyzes the relationships between off-highway vehicle (OHV) riders’ patterns of prior experience and the social-psychological benefits they desire from the activity; it also examines the relationships between patterns of prior experience and environmental attitudes. The sample consists of 600 OHV riders in Utah drawn from the entire population of OHV owners within the state. The ...

The objective of the Unit of Archaeometry (UA) of the Institute of Material Science from the University of Valencia (ICMUV) is the development of non-destructive methods for the determination of the nature, structures and components of the works of art. Taking advantage of the experience of some of their members in Nuclear Instrumentation, and with the invaluable collaboration of restorers and ...

Delivery drones have a fairly short range due to their limited battery life. We propose new exploration strategies to generate paths for a drone to reach its destination while learning about the energy consumption on each edge on its path so as to optimize its range in future missions. As the energy consumption mostly depends on the payload, the wind direction, and the wind speed, we developed ...
