OUR SOLUTION

With the prevailing use of drones and ground robots in the Home Team operations, we focused on enabling near real-time data exchanges between different unmanned systems through the use of Data Distribution Service (DDS) to achieve interoperations. Using a scaled-down model consisting of a ground robot and an array of overhanging cameras as a proxy to represent a team of drones providing location/waypoint information to the ground robot, we demonstrated how machine interoperability can augment operations to achieve a force multiplier effect.
