Intro to Auto Unmanned Systems — With the rapidly increasing interest and use of unmanned systems in defense, there is also an increasing interest in making these systems more autonomous. Unmanned systems with high levels of autonomy will be able to use on board sensing, communications, and processing to understand their environment, communicate that understanding to other systems and humans, and make decisions -- either alone or collaboratively with other machines to better achieve operational goals as assigned by a human operator. This course will provide you with a broad and general understanding of autonomous systems. You will learn terms and definitions of autonomous systems; architectures for autonomous systems; how autonomous systems plan individually or collectively to achieve objectives; how autonomy is used to adapt to a changing objective; threat or environment; and how to model, simulate and test autonomous unmanned systems. Special emphasis is placed on how to conduct field and flight testing of multiple collaborative autonomous aircraft. Information in this course is controlled technical information (CTI) with military or space application that is subject to controls on the access, use, reproduction, modification, performance, display, release, disclosure, or dissemination. You will require access to controlled unclassified information (CUI) to attend.
