Simulating Uninhabited Combat Aircraft in Hostile Environments (Part II) P. Morignot, J.-C. Poncet, J. Baltié, P. Fabiani, E. Bensana, J.-L. Farges, B. Patin

2005 EURO SPRING SIW

Motivation • Less dangerous situations for pilots. • Uninhabited Combat Aircraft Vehicles (UCAVs) have been studied for 10 years. • French initiative over the last years, funded by the Délégation Générale pour l’Armement (the French DARPA).

2005 EURO SPRING SIW

Conclusion • Work in progress (end in April 2006). – First simulation of the main components using Petri nets [Morignot et al. 04]. – Software architecture (reactive, decisional levels, system functions). – Planner : • Collaboration by propositions • Anytime property

– Integration tested on scenarios of increasing difficulty.

• Future research directions: – More experiments (first demo planned in September, 2005). – High Level Architecture (HLA) for pseudo real-time simulation. – Porting the models on 3 small real aircraft.
