Uncrewed Systems Mission Planning

Catalog description

This course will build on prior uncrewed and autonomous systems localization and path planning coursework and will introduce students to concepts of task and object oriented uncrewed systems employment. Previous navigational knowledge will be applied towards specific mission objectives, incorporating considerations of point/area of interest approach planning; payload selection and employment optimization; inter/intra-system coordination and de-confliction; contingency planning; and mission assessment/evaluation. Attention will be given to application of task and objective definitions; system, sensor, and payload selection/matching; and performance based scenario planning.
