Onboard, Adaptive Flight Controls and Cooperative Mission Planning

Using Asymmetric’s IronClad Secure Flight Controller as a centralized hub, the team will implement a multi-copter-focused onboard health monitoring capability that is directly tied to adaptive, autonomous flight control and mission planning. This capability eliminates the need for slower, ground-based decision-making: if an airspace conflict is detected, the UAS can autonomously re-route itself while also accounting for its real-time flight performance capabilities. The technology also allows for multi-UAS formation-flight or “adaptive cruise control” for UAS.
