Benjamin Schumann, J.S., Hans Fangohr, Mario Ferraro, A Generic Unifying Ontology for Civil Unmanned Aerial Vehicle Missions, 2012, American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics. Matches sensors to task for ISR (Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance) Missions Very limited scope and focuses heavily on sensor capabilities

11. Given a fleet of UAVs, a mission planner can efficiently task platforms for missions – Mission readiness can be quantified based on platform and equipment availability – Selected platform data can be sent to operators and optimization suites 11 RoutingSensor TaskingBandwidth Optimization Platform Quality Endurance Flight Envelope Fuel Capacity Operating Height Stealth Operating Height Takeoff/Landing Procedure Velocity Standard Cruising Velocity Maximum Safe Operating Velocity Sensor Quality Range of Vision Mode Image Processing IR Processing Video Processing Horizontal Rotation Lens Zoom Mount Placement Vertical Rotation Radio Quality Band Name (Frequency)

12. 12 Develop missions and tasks Expand the ontology to include civilian domain platforms – Add more detail to existing classes, more equipment properties Develop a tool to query feasible platforms for flight craft – SPARQL queries linking the ontology to a user interface
