CA 2540269

Methods and apparatus are provided for command and control of an unmanned vehicle ("UV"). A preferred embodiment of the invention includes a Virtual Pilot ("VP"), which includes a Brain and an Arena. The Brain includes rules governing the behavior of the UV and information on missions to be performed. The Arena includes state information about the UV and its environment. UVs in a swarm communicate with each other, as well as with various ground stations, through regular updates. Backup schemes are provided to deal with the failure of a UV module, thereby providing partial degradations in performance. Communication among the UVs and ground stations of a system employ a probabilistic scheme that promotes high spectral efficiency.

L'invention concerne des procédés et appareils permettant de commander et contrôler un véhicule inhabité ("UV"). Un mode de réalisation préféré de l'invention comprend un pilote virtuel ("VP") qui comporte un cerveau et une arène. Le cerveau contient des règles régissant le comportement de l'UV et des informations sur les missions à effectuer. L'arène contient des informations d'état sur l'UV et son environnement. Les UV d'un groupe communiquent entre eux, ainsi qu'avec diverses stations de terre, par des mises à jour régulières. Des schémas de sauvegarde permettent de traiter la défaillance d'un module UV, ce qui dégrade quelque peu les performances. La communication parmi les UVs et les stations de terre d'un système utilise un schéma probabiliste qui favorise une efficacité spectrale élevée.
