The ISX/SRI/BRG team will develop a UAV Airspace Management System (UAMS) that operates at a Battalion echelon level to deconflict multiple small UAV path plans in real time using limited sensors, communications, and processing resources. UAMS will employ a hybrid centralized/distributed architecture supporting dynamic coordination mode selection for each (group) of UAVs.
The system will be able to monitor networked UAVs, detect potential collisions, and deconflict their flight paths. UAMS will work over a range of operational environments, from large rolling terrain to smaller urban airspaces.
