Collaborative Unmanned Vehicles for Maritime Domain Awareness

Abstract

Unmanned vehicles are becoming a critical component of military operations. As the vehicles develop in capability, there will be a trend for heterogeneous classes of unmanned vehicles to be able to work in a more collaborative fashion. This paper discusses the research initiatives by the Naval Postgraduate School Center for Autonomous Unmanned Vehicle Research for achieving greater effectiveness in naval operations through collaborative behavior. it focuses on three separate initiatives and discusses results from recent Tactical Network Topology (TNT) experiments.
