Research abstract
The US military envisions the fielding of large numbers of unmanned air vehicles in the near future that will work in collaboration with existing fixed and rotary aircraft to detect, locate, and defeat enemy forces. These manned-unmanned teams (MUM-T) require networking technologies to support exchanging full-motion video, metadata and voice for situational awareness and control of unmanned air vehicle (UAV) payloads and UAV navigation while maintaining backward compatibility with data links currently used by Navy/Marine Corps UAVs and fixed/rotary wing aircraft. In the proposed program we design, develop, demonstrate, and verify mesh network protocols for the Manned-Unmanned Teaming (MUM-T) network.
