This paper presents a time-based path planning optimizer for separation assurance for unmanned aerial systems (UAS). Given Automatic Dependent Surveillance-Broadcast (ADS-B) as a sensor, position, velocity, and identification information is available at ranges on the order of 50 nautical miles. Such long-range intruder detection facilitates path planning for separation assurance, but also poses...

Beyond-visual-range (BVR) engagement becomes more and popular in the modern air battlefield. The key difficulty for pilots fight is maneuver planning, which reflects tactical decision-making capacity of both sides determinates success or failure. In this paper, we propose an intelligent planning method BVR combat with using improved deep Q network (DQN). First, a basic environment builds, mainl...

In this paper an object-centric perspective on planning domain definition is presented along with an overview of GIPO (graphical interface for planning with objects), a supporting tools environment. It is argued that the object-centric view assists the domain developer in conceptualizing the domain’s structure, and we show how GIPO enables the developer to capture that conceptualization at an a...

The Family Planning Program provides affordable, confidential family planning and related preventive health services in accordance with nationally recognized standards where evidence exists that these services should lead to improvement in the overall health of individuals, with a priority for services to low-income individuals. The program expands access to a broad range of acceptable and effe...

Effective control of large-scale enterprises requires a combination of long-range planning to identify appropriate strategies for meeting objectives and efficient scheduling of resources to ensure timely completion of tasks associated with those strategies. Given the highly dynamic operating environment of many enterprises, planning and scheduling must both be adaptive to unexpected events and ...

We present a multi-layered mapping, planning, and command execution system developed and tested on the LAGR mobile robot. Key to robust performance under uncertainty is the combination of a short-range perception system operating at high frame rate and low resolution and a long-range, adaptive vision system operating at lower frame rate and higher resolution. The short-range module performs loc...
