Automated Tasking of RAS Teams for Active Modelling of CBRN Threats

Project Member(s): Bishop, D., Solntsev, A., Tran, T.

Funding or Partner Organisation: NSW Department of Industry (NSW Defence Innovation Network)
NSW Department of Industry (NSW Defence Innovation Network)

Start year: 2024

Summary: UTS will contribute to a UNSW-led project proposal to the Defence Innovation Network (DIN) The project will generate: 1) modelling methods (data structures and algorithms) for representing threat over an operational environment, given sampled hazard data; 2) an algorithm for near real-time updating of threat models based on new data obtained from Robotic and Autonomous Systems (RAS) assets; 3) an algorithm for tasking RAS assets to support optimal data gathering given model update requirements; 4) algorithms for autonomous execution of task plans/behaviours by RAS platforms; 5) measures of system performance and algorithms to evaluate these measures.

FOR Codes: Control engineering, mechatronics and robotics, Photonic and electro-optical devices, sensors and systems (excl. communications), Software engineering, Emerging defence technologies
