Autonomous Technologies for Unmanned Aerial Systems (ATUAS)
Abstract
New Start - Contingent upon congressional appropriation and congressional notification -- Autonomous Technologies for Unmanned Aerial Systems (ATUAS) will integrate a series of technologies and demonstrate autonomous precision delivery and retrograde to and from a forward point of need in operationally relevant conditions. It will demonstrate increased mission level autonomy through onboard enhanced autonomous navigation and contingency management software for single operator/multi-vehicle control of two UAS reduceing the risks to the Warfighter and enabling improved operational readiness. Program Outputs and Efficiencies are: (1) Intelligent autonomous navigation capabilities, delivery location beacon, autonomous retrograde technology; (2) Multi-asset control capabilities, autonomous identification of optimum load delivery locations and, (3) reduce the risks to the Warfighter and enable improved operational readiness.
