Agent Technology for Coordinating UAV Target Tracking

  • Conference paper
Book cover Knowledge-Based Intelligent Information and Engineering Systems (KES 2005)

Part of the book series: Lecture Notes in Computer Science ((LNAI,volume 3682))

Abstract

This paper illustrates three agent technologies deployed in the Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) target tracking domain. These capabilities enable: (1) coordination of the tracking of multiple targets among a set of UAVs, (2) identification of the best subset of assigned UAVs from which to collect location information, and (3) evaluation of location information accuracy. These capabilities aid the efficient and effective collection and verification of target location information.
