Abstract

Remote Piloted Air Vehicle are operating in highly critical contexts. These platforms carry a wide collection of instruments, mostly a set of sensors aiming to collect data from the environment called the theater. This set of sensors offers a large panel of functions to the platform’s manager during the flight. Today, the needs transformation as well as the numerous environment and industrial constraints turn the design of the multi-sensor system’s architecture into a complex task. In this article, we will quickly present the multi-sensor agent-based architecture we elaborated and then detail the scheduling mechanisms we developed within this architecture.
