Patent number: 8977411Abstract: The present disclosure provides a computer-implemented method of generating a description of aircraft intent expressed in a formal language that provides an unambiguous description of an aircraft's intended motion and configuration during a period of flight. A description of flight intent is parsed to provide instances of flight intent, each instance of flight intent spanning a flight segment. For each flight segment, an associated flight segment description is generated that comprises one or more instances of flight intent that describe the aircraft's motion in at least one degree of freedom of motion. One or more instances of flight intent are added to flight segments to close all degrees of freedom of motion. The flight segment descriptions are collated thereby providing a description of aircraft intent for the period of flight expressed in a formal language.Type: GrantFiled: May 24, 2013Date of Patent: March 10, 2015Assignee: The Boeing CompanyInventors: Enrique Juan Magana Casado, Juan Alberto Besada, Javier Lopez Leones, Ana Maria Bernardos Barbolla, Guillermo Frontera, Francisco Navarro

Patent number: 8914182Abstract: The present invention provides a co-operative network of unmanned vehicles that participate in co-operative task allocation. Each unmanned vehicle comprises a computer system with an executive level configured to control motion of the unmanned vehicle and an automatic decision level configured to communicate with other unmanned vehicles, to receive task descriptions, to participate in task allocation, and to provide descriptions of tasks to be performed to the executive level for execution. Each unmanned vehicle submits a bid for each task it can perform, the bid reflecting an execution cost for the task. The bids are compared and the task effectively auctioned to the unmanned vehicle with a lowest execution cost. Each unmanned vehicle builds a task plan from its allocated tasks, decomposes the associated task descriptions into elementary task descriptions and forwards the elementary task descriptions in a format suitable for the executive level to execute.Type: GrantFiled: March 21, 2013Date of Patent: December 16, 2014Assignee: The Boeing CompanyInventors: Enrique Juan Magana Casado, David Scarlatti, David Esteban-Campillo, Ivan Maza, Fernando Caballero

Patent number: 8798813Abstract: The present disclosure provides a computer-implemented method of generating a description of aircraft intent expressed in a formal language that provides an unambiguous description of an aircraft's intended motion and configuration during a period of flight. A description of flight intent is parsed to provide instances of flight intent, each instance of flight intent spanning a flight segment. For each flight segment, an associated flight segment description is generated that comprises one or more instances of flight intent that describe the aircraft's motion in at least one degree of freedom of motion. Flight segment descriptions are compared with constraints and/or objectives and the associated flight segment descriptions are enriched with information describing relevant constraints and/or objectives. The enriched flight intent is converted into aircraft intent by ensuring that the flight segment descriptions close all degrees of freedom of the aircraft during the period of flight.Type: GrantFiled: May 24, 2013Date of Patent: August 5, 2014Assignee: The Boeing CompanyInventors: Enrique Juan Magana Casado, Juan Alberto Besada, Javier Lopez Leones, Jesus Crespo, Guillermo Frontera

Patent number: 8744649Abstract: The present disclosure provides a computer-implemented method of generating a description of aircraft intent expressed in a formal language that provides an unambiguous description of an aircraft's intended motion and configuration during a period of flight. A flight intent description is parsed to provide instances of flight intent that span a flight segment, the flight segments together spanning the period of flight. The parsed flight intent is converted into parametric aircraft intent by generating an associated flight segment description for each flight segment that comprises instances of flight intent to close all associated degrees of freedom of motion and of configuration of the aircraft. At least some flight segment descriptions contain a parameter range, and the method further comprises optimizing the parametric aircraft intent by determining an optimal value for the parameter of each parameter range.Type: GrantFiled: May 24, 2013Date of Patent: June 3, 2014Assignee: The Boeing CompanyInventors: Enrique Juan Magana Casado, Francisco Navarro, Juan Alberto Besada, Javier Lopez Leones, Miguel Vilaplana
