Autonodyne
Autonodyne Autonomy Software-
In aviation, Smart Automation is defined as automating certain elements of flight preparations and flight control. Specifically, it targets context-sensitive tasks to reduce the workload peaks and overall workload of humans. We view this as a means to accomplish Simplified Vehicle Operations. Some examples, to name a few, include:
- Automating checklists.
- Extensive monitoring and data logging of a flight system’s state.
- Using connectivity to create a “distributed cockpit.”
- Automatic route planning based on vehicle state or contingency.
- Vastly simplifying “cockpit” displays to be less aviation-specific and more in-line with visualizations people are used to.
- Enabling reduced crew operations.
Autonodyne’s software has been specifically designed to support multi-ship collaborative
autonomous operations. This approach permits dissimilar UVs to communicate with each other to perform swarm-like behaviors. While multiple architectures are possible to enable these capabilities, to date, we’ve implemented an IP-network-based approach so that every mission computer and control station is an entity in the network.
