Controlling Multiple UAVs

Michael Lewis and Katia Sycara (April 2003-April 2004) "Cooperative Attack Munition Real Time Assessment" Office of the Secretary of Defense/DDR&E

 
planeSubcontract to AFRL/MNGN from OSD/DDR&E
Air Force collaborators have developed and built a multi vehicle simulation and vehicle-in-the-loop testbed for the Low Cost Autonomous Attack System (LOCAAS), and recently extended the testbed to incorporate cooperative control and human-in-the-loop capabilities. We are responsible for developing and evaluating control strategies and interfaces to allow human operators to effectively control multiple UAVs. Experiments will involve both human-in-the-loop testing and Monte Carlo studies using simulated human operators. Scientific issues include controlling systems with adjustable autonomy, directing attention in dynamic control tasks, and identifying effective ways to accommodate the USAF's eyes-on-target requirements
