Enabling Autonomy (Presentation Only)

Abstract:
Developing a comprehensive autonomy solution for the Army's current and future aircraft fleet requires a robust computational and perception capability for decision-making across the entire flight envelope without a pilot. This also requires a flight control system and infrastructure capable of executing autonomous decisions in complex mission environments. Ongoing development of automation and autonomy, utilizing a wide range of perception sensors, has been conducted on platforms such as Sikorsky's S-70 and the Army's UH-60Mx aircraft. This work builds upon previous efforts and leverages ongoing collaborations with industry, the Department of War (DoW), and the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) to advance autonomous capabilities for both optionally piloted and uncrewed aircraft.
