Physical & Virtual Avenger UAVs Demonstrate Autonomous Search & Follow
As part of the company’s commitment to develop advanced unmanned autonomy, General Atomics Aeronautical Systems, Inc. (GA-ASI) used a company-owned Avenger UAV and five hardware-in-the-loop synthetic Avengers to autonomously search and follow an artificially-generated adversary.
The live-virtual swarm utilized a simulated Infrared Search and Track (IRST) sensor network in addition to the government-furnished CODE autonomy engine to accomplish the mission.
