Abstract
In this paper, we present our Cooperative Attack Munition Real-time Assessment (CAMERA) test-bed. CAMERA was conceived for evaluating cooperative control algorithms and human supervised control on the overall performance and effectiveness of autonomous Wide Area Search Munitions (WASMs). The test-bed components include a 6-DoF simulation of the WASM capable of simulating up to 64 munitions simultaneously; a mission planning module for a priori selection of tactical areas of interest and threat priorities, and an IEEE 802.11a simulation for modeling inter-munition communication. Also included in the test-bed is an Uninhabited Aerial Vehicle (UAV) equipped with an autopilot capable of waypoint navigation and a radio for communication. The goal of the test-bed is to evaluate the utility of sharing information between a real UAV and multiple virtual munitions: we thus benefit from hardware in the loop, without the necessity of maintaining a large fleet of UAVS.
