Intelligent Autonomy

• Micro-Air Vehicle (MAV)- Tethered flights at Honeywell’s

Albuquerque site- Challenging flight controls and

navigation problems- SMARTLabs for prototyping,

visualization

• Organic Air Vehicle (OAV-2)- Phase 1 effort ongoing- Focus on collision avoidance- Explore sensor modalities and

novel algorithms- React to pop-up obstacles

4 HONEYWELL - CONFIDENTIAL SP-SAE-G&C-March 2005

Intelligent Autonomy (contd.) – HURT program

Urban RSTA requires horizontal viewpoints and rapid reaction to cues and perceived threats

The HURT control layer can make existing vehicles behave like a distributed robotic sensor

Rapid “fly-by shooting”of concealed targets

Persistent mobile sensors

Overhead surveillance

Agile urban navigation to see in portals

Ground and subterranean recce

Cueing sensors

FUTURE UAV

Side-looking RSTA

Multilateral geolocation

LOS comms relay chain

HURT Provides On-Demand Collaborative RSTA for Obscured Targets

5 HONEYWELL - CONFIDENTIAL SP-SAE-G&C-March 2005

Advanced Controls

• 7E7 Fly-by-wire program- Design reviews ongoing- End-to-end system modeling, redundancy

analysis

• Boeing/AFRL CMUS program- Adaptive inner loop algorithms responsive

to IVHM signals

• Second Piloted simulation at NASA Langley- Successful demonstration of CUPRSys for

3 operating points - Demonstrated benefits of reconfigurable

control Elevator faults simulated on Boeing 757 modelNominal, faulty and reconfigured cases evaluatedResults will be presented at SAE-G&C Meeting 96
