Research abstract
VISION is a software and hardware package to manage real-time system acquisition and tracking for servicing vehicles performing Rendezvous, Proximity Operations, and Docking (RPOD). It combines an artificial intelligence strategy using Deep Learning for a vision-based relative navigation system with a network centric avionics implementing medium range wireless communications for target acquisition, target tracking, and communicating maneuver intent between agents and targets. This system can be applied to both cooperative and uncooperative RPOD scenarios and scaled to formation flight and swarm-based OSAM operations. This package provides a solution that can be integrated into legacy and future servicing platforms.
