•
iPINS – personal navigator system
-
DARPA seedling program Demonstration of inertial navigation sensors, dead reckoning, time-of-arrival and gait analysis algorithms
•
Autonomous systems
-
Micro Air Vehicle (MAV)
Flights by soldiers at Ft. Benning and Schofield At least 8.5km range, autonomous operations -
Organic Air Vehicle – Phase 2 of program commenced
Focus on collision avoidance algorithms and demonstrations Sensors detect 6mm wire at 50+m Demonstration of in-flight collision avoidance Design of vehicle progressing -
Heterogeneous Urban RSTA Technologies (HURT)
Northrop Grumman-led DARPA program Honeywell research on Planning and Control HONEYWELL - Proprietary SP-SAE-G&C-Oct 2005
HURT Provides On-Demand Collaborative RSTA for Obscured Targets
Urban RSTA requires horizontal viewpoints and rapid reaction to cues and perceived threats
Overhead surveillance FUTURE UAV LOS comms relay chain Persistent mobile sensors Multilateral geolocation Side-looking RSTA

Agile urban navigation to see in portals Rapid “fly-by shooting” of concealed targets Ground and subterranean recce Cueing sensors
The HURT control layer can make existing vehicles behave like a distributed robotic sensor

Sept 22, 2005 at Victorville, CA
•
4 small UAVs
-
2 pointers
-
1 raven
-

• Honeywell – provided
vehicle tracking
and
surveillance
algorithms, integrated into the HURT ground control station • The HURT system
autonomously
request and directed the most suitable UAV to the location for a closer look while prioritized each
maintaining continuous broad-area surveillance
by the other UAVs.
