In this paper a scalable and flexible Architecture for real-time mission planning and dynamic agent-to-task assignment for a swarm of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAV) is presented. The proposed mission planning architecture consists of a Global Mission Planner (GMP) which is responsible of assigning and monitoring different high-level missions through an Agent Mission Planner (AMP), which is in charge...
Given the proliferation of Unmanned Aerial Systems (UASs) for military and commercial purposes, there is a fast-approaching need for comprehensive and robust systems which secure the UAS for public safety and assurance of military goals. This paper puts forth a comprehensive system of protecting UASs against hardware and software attacks, at the lowest and highest semantic levels. This approach monitors...
Small Unmanned Aerial Systems (sUAS) spread rapidly in the last years, both for civil and military applications. The performance of Dangerous, Dull and Dirty missions implies a wide use of the sUAS, in particular to manage hazardous events, such as natural or manmade major incidents or mass casualty situations. The management and control of an emergency are crucial aspects for the rescue teams and...
Aircraft systems are the integral part of the naval operations. These systems have been making great contribution to all kind of naval tasks and operations since previous century. On the other hand, developments in Unmanned Aircraft Systems make Naval Forces replace manned aircraft systems with unmanned ones. Consequently, utilization of Unmanned Air Craft Systems in maritime domain contributes to...
This document describes the motivation, theoretical description, development, and field test of a system utilizing multiple Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAV)s that cooperate with each other, using Unattended Ground Sensors (UGS), to monitor an area, detect intruder vehicles, capture imagery of the intruders, and deliver that imagery to the home base. Since the UAVs have no sensors/perception algorithms...
This work presents our initial approach to remote sensing and precision agriculture for monitoring crop fields in Colombia. Using an autonomous quadcopter UAV (unmanned aerial vehicle) equipped with a multispectral camera onboard, our goal is to provide farmers with an integrated tool for measuring and assessing live green vegetation by assembling a terrain image mosaic based on capturing multispectral...
This paper investigates forest monitoring and fire detection strategies using a team of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) and unmanned ground vehicles (UGVs). UAVs have great advantages in forest fire detection and fighting. However they have limited running time and payload capabilities, therefore UGVs are paired with UAVs to avoid their demerits. First, UGVs are used to transport the UAVs to the nearest...
