Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) Solution for Multivehicle Control and Unmanned Aircraft System (UAS) Capability Core Unmanned Control System (CUCS

Kutta Technologies proposes an effort to integrate mission planning services with the BYG-1 graphical user interface through a service oriented architecture (SOA). Kutta"s SOA will provide common control across heterogeneous vehicles with a focus on vehicle interoperability, shared area management, and collaborative mission views with standardized data interfaces such as Joint Architecture for Unmanned Systems (JAUS) and STANAG 4586. The Phase II work plan methodically integrates basic mission planning, safe area management, intuitive payload control, and mission data sharing services with the BYG-1 interface. The Phase II option work plan systematically evaluates the SOA services with a small unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) through a STANAG 4586 hardware-in-the-loop simulation. The Phase II Option is concluded with the SOA controlling live and simulated UxVs operating under a well-defined naval concept of operation. The benefits to PMS 425 are standard set of vital UxV mission planning services that easier to upgrade and interface with new unmanned vehicles.
