Autonomous agents for air-traffic deconfliction

This contribution presents a deployment exercise of multiagent technology in the domain of deconflicted air-traffic control among several autonomous aerial vehicles (manned as well as unmanned). Negotiation based deconfliction algorithm have been developed and integrated in the agent-based model of the individual flight. Operation of the underlying multi-agent system has been integrated with freely available, geographical and tactical data sources in order to demonstrate openness of the technology. An additional, web client visualization and access component has been developed in order to facilitate a multi-user, platform independent use of the system. The features and application design is illustrated in the demonstration video clip1 .
