Real-time path planning with limited information for autonomous unmanned air vehicles
This research on raising autonomy level for uninhabited air vehicles started in FLAVIIR funded by EPSRC and BAE Systems (Phil.Woods@baesystems.com), and it led further to our participation in ASTRAEA Phase I (Clive.Downes@baesystems.com). The results also attract attention from abroad. Fliteplan International and the International Air Transport Association, Canada (Bernard Gonsalves, fliteplan@sympatico.ca) expressed interests in using our path planning algorithms in civil air traffic control. More recently, the US Air Force’s European Office of Aerospace Research and Development in London (kevin.bollino@us.af.mil) and the US Army’s International Technology Center-Atlantic (john.preston.civ@mail.mil) invited us to submit research proposals in autonomous control.
