Active Multi-Model Control of Uninhabited Combat Air Vehicles

Description:
    This project is part of DARPA's Software Enabled Control
    research area. The project objective is to develop and
    demonstrate in simulation new concepts for autonomous vehicles
    that rely on multiple on-board models. The application domain
    of primary interest is active route control for fleets of
    uninhabited combat air vehicles (UCAVs). Model-based algorithms
    will enable UCAVs to perform in-flight re-optimizations of
    vehicle trajectories, flight control laws, and mode transitions
    based on dynamic information from on-board sensors, ground
    stations or airborne supervisors, weather and surveillance
    satellites, etc.
