STIR: Topic 5.3.1 Supporting Army Tactical Mission: Gathering and Processing Sensor Data with Unmanned Relay Vehicles using Line-of-Sight Communication

Abstract

The objective of this project is to create new methods for ensuring information processing of an unmanned tactical unit that will use Line-of-Sight (LoS) to communicate with the different mobile units. This research will focus on (1) How to efficiently plan paths to serve the units and keep Line-of-Sight (LoS) communication while following the path; 2) How to account for obstacles and motion constraints in the context of LoS communication; and 3) How to create a realistic simulation and deploy a small proof of concept test bed that will help close the gap between theory and practice.
