CBR and CNP Applied to Litoral Reconnaissance Goal: –Apply the research on the integration of CBR mission specification with CNP task allocation towards a variety of Air- Launched UAV based scenarios

CBR and CNP Applied to Litoral Reconnaissance Mission types: –Coastal, harbor, and overland surveillance Investigation of points of interest in mission area Provide some form of target response (reporting, tracking, etc.) –Anti-surface warfare Target search directed by command and control vehicle Target identification Target tracking

Component Tasks Available for AL-UAV Missions Currently Supported by CBR/CNP Architectures –Target Identification Observe a particular area for a given target –Target Interception Overtake a specified target –Target Tracking Intercept and track an identified target –Target Location Search an area for possible targets Target Tracking Target Identification

Coastal, Harbor, and Overland Surveillance Missions Built upon the CBR and Premission-CNP framework Allows for the rapid generation of single or multi AL-UAV surveillance missions via the examination of user specified locations User may specify differing target response profiles at each surveillance point

Coastal, Harbor, and Overland Surveillance Missions User indicates areas of interest and response profile using task based interface User then selects points of interest on the map based interface CBR Wizard uses the waypoints and response profiles to generate a mission for one… or multiple AL-UAV

Coastal, Harbor, and Overland Surveillance Missions Resulting FSA mission plan is composed of –Waypoint traversal behaviors –Loitering behaviors –Target detection triggers –Target Response behaviors Reporting and tracking Behavioral parameters such as flight altitude and velocity may be modified after retrieval from CBR

Anti-Surface Warfare Missions Created using the CBR and Runtime-CNP architecture Allows for easy deployment of multiple AL-UAVs Dynamic tasking of deployed assets as targets are detected Handles failures and reassignment of deployed assets Tracking and identification tasks supported

Anti-Surface Warfare Missions User selects ASW mission type Then selects the initial loiter points for the AL-UAV

Anti-Surface Warfare Missions CBR retrieves mission plans for both the notional command and control and the individual AL- UAVs based on mission type and deployment points Command and control FSA launches AL-UAV and provides target designation Deployed AL-UAV contain behaviors to incorporate task allocation based on targets provided by command and control –Supports search, tracking, identification and renegging Command and Control Run-time AL-UAV FSA

Anti-Surface Warfare Missions ? During runtime, the C&C aircraft reports the area of uncertainty for detected targets and Injects appropriate ASW task for auction Deployed AL-UAVs calculate bids on the task based on proximity, heading, and fuel. The highest bidder is selected to execute the task The assigned AL-UAV searches the area of uncertainty for the target. Once found, identification or tracking take place ? Multiple targets may be tracked by the C&C aircraft, with each AL-UAV investigating different targets ?
