CTEDS2+

Purpose and goal:

The project´s overall aim is to develop an autonomous reconnaissance capability for unmanned aerial systems, by further developing the results that have been achieved in CTEDS2 (2022-02869). The research focuses on developing and adapting AI-based algorithms and methods to achieve this. The project will further develop and demonstrate relevant solutions and functions developed in CTEDS2, aiming at an autonomous reconnaissance capability, and enable it to be integrated into a system-of-system framework to allow integration into a greater demonstrator architecture.

Expected results and effects:

During the course of the work, we have been in contact with WARA-PS and have seen synergies between the projects as the capability developed in the projects complements and has value for each other. The ambition of the project expansion is to enable simulation and validation of project results in a realistic environment together with other projects, solutions and technologies.

This means that WPs in CTEDS2 have been expanded to enable integration in the WARA-PS demo environment with objective of having a simulated demo, and parts of the functionality also implemented in a physical demo. Approach and implementation:

We will focus on expanding existing work packages from CTEDS2. On a technical level, we will work to enable the integration of relevant parts of CTEDS2´s operational capability into the WARA-PS technical framework to expand our interoperability, as well as enable simulation and validation in a relevant environment. On an organizational level, we will have the opportunity to tie our work closer to other participating projects in the WARA-PS program through a closer collaboration with WARA-PS demo operations, as well as create conditions for efficient knowledge dissemination.
