This movie depicts multiple AL-UAV's performing an anti-surface warfare mission using the CBR and runtime-CNP architecture. During the mission, the command and control aircraft detects targets (indicated by circular regions in the display). As each target is detected, the command and control aircraft initiates an auction for a tracking task. The deployed AL-UAVs bid on the tasks and the highest bidder is assigned to investigate the target and track its movements. During mission execution, one of the AL-UAV fails and forces the team to adapt via task reallocation.
Multi AL-UAV ASW Mission

These two movies depict the generation of two coastal reconnaissance missions for teams consisting of one and three AL-UAVs using the CBR and premission-CNP system. The mission consists of three tasks: patrolling the southern portion of the coast, tracking any targets leaving from the pier, and patrolling the northern portion of the coast. In the single AL-UAV mission, the system generates a mission plan in which the tasks are performed in order, first examining the southern coast and reporting back any vessels found, then examining the pier area and tracking any vessels found, etc. In the multi AL-UAV mission, the CBR and premission-CNP system seamlessly generates an appropriate three AL-UAV mission to perform the required tasks. After deployment, each AL-UAV moves to the designated position and performs the task assigned at mission creation. While executing the mission, vessels that have been located but not identified are indicated by circular regions in the mission area.

Multiple AL-UAV Coastal Reconnaissance

This movie demonstrates the integration of a NAVAIR MURC control station with the robotic software toolset, MissionLab. In this demonstration, a mission is created where an unmanned surface vehicle (USV) navigates autonomously to a location where it participates in STANAG 4586 "vehicle discovery" and allows control to be handed over to a NAVAIR MURC control station. The MURC operator then tasks the vehicle to perform a patrol mission.
MissionLab/MURC Integration

This movie demonstrates an anti-submarine warfare conducted by two AL-UAVs. In this mission, the AL-UAVs travel to predetermined waypoints. Once they have arrived at the waypoint, the AL-UAVs descend to low altitudes where they can use their magnetic anomaly detectors to search for submarines. If vessels are detected, they are then reported to the command and control aircraft.

LEADTOOLS Multimedia SDK for UAS and UAV Applications

http://www.leadtools.com/sdk/multimedia/uav.htm
UAS (Unmanned Aerial Systems) and UAVs (Unmanned Aerial Vehicles) have become increasingly popular over the last few years for both military and civil applications. As the number of sensors gathering data and the amount of video captured from UAVs grows, so does the demand for stable and reliable streaming. There is a requirement to reliably receive video data coming from UAVs, process incoming video and KLV data, and efficiently archive the data for later retrieval.

LEADTOOLS MPEG2 Transport Module includes everything you need to create robust applications capable of receiving, displaying, navigating, processing, and archiving all of the data MPEG2 Transport data from UAVs. LEAD's experience in the UAV streaming arena has allowed us to create the most powerful package for developers looking to create UAV viewing stations. This module includes decoders for all popular MPEG2 Transport streaming formats today including H264, MPEG2, MPEG4, and H263. Also included is our DVR Module which allows ground control viewers to pause, play, rewind, fast forward, and "jump to live" streaming video.

APV-3 Networked UAV Teaming Experiment
Engineers and technicians from NASA's Ames Research Center and Dryden Flight Research Center conducted flight tests over a 'virtual' forest fire in early 2005 to evaluate new flight-control software that will allow Uninhabited Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) to autonomously react to obstacles as they fly pre-programmed missions. The tests were conducted over a remote area of Edwards Air Force Base, Calif.,
