UAV - autonomous decision-making (JAE-Box)
Self-contained autonomous, decision-making capability
JAE-Box (JACK™ Autonomous Environment in a Box) provides a decision-making capability on board unmanned vehicles (eg, UAVs), flexible manufacturing systems, and on-board PHM applications. Based on Agent Oriented Software's well-proven JACK Intelligent Agents software, JAE-Box is suited to the time-critical operational environments. Early customers for this approach include DSTO Australia, QinetiQ Limited UK, and Monterey Technologies (under contract to the US Army).
JAE-Box is a ruggedised single-board computer for installation in vehicles or systems, designed for the rigours of operational use, and is connected by a serial link to the vehicle or system control system (eg, UAV autopilot).
Benefits include:
- autonomous operations in rapidly changing environments where the vehicle must adapt its behaviour to achieve its mission
- easy high-level programming of intelligent behaviours
- ability to monitor vehicle's intentions during operation, keeping human operator “in the loop”
- straightforward integration with control systems.
