  • Real-time team coordination system for reconnaissance and surveillance missions
    Patent number: 7647232
    Abstract: A method routes a predefined number of entities (200) through a predetermined area for scanning the content of the predetermined area. The method comprises the steps of: partitioning the predetermined area into a first set of cells (100); grouping the first set of cells (100) into a number of corridors (201) equal to the number of entities (200); determining a starting cell for each entity (200) in each corridor (201); initiating a scan of cells of each of the corridors (201) from the starting cell of each of the entities (200) and determining the content of each of the scanned cells; and determining a total cost for each entity (200) to travel to each of the scanned cells scanned by each entity (200) and performing a scan from each of the scanned cells by each entity (200).
    Type: Grant
    Filed: February 21, 2002
    Date of Patent: January 12, 2010
    Assignee: Lockheed Martin Corporation
    Inventors: Abha Moitra, Robert M. Mattheyses, Robert J. Szczerba, Louis J. Hoebel, Virginia A. Didomizio, Boris Yamrom
  • Real-time route and sensor planning system with variable mission objectives
    Patent number: 6985810
    Abstract: A method routes an entity (200) through a predetermined area for scanning the content of the predetermined area. The method comprises the steps of: partitioning the predetermined area into cells (100); determining a starting cell for the entity (200); initiating a scan of a number of the cells from the starting cell and determining the content of each of the number of cells; and determining a total cost for the entity (200) to travel to each of the scanned cells and to perform a scan from each of the scanned cells.

  • Architecture for real-time maintenance of distributed mission plans
    Patent number: 6718261
    Abstract: A method routes a plurality of entities (200) through a predetermined area. The method includes the steps of: providing a plan; providing a deterministic method for computing the plan for the plurality of entities (200), the plan including a plurality of routes and sets of scan points for each of the entities (200); and performing the method by each of the plurality of entities (200) independently from the other of the plurality of entities (200).

  • Architecture for automatic evaluation of team reconnaissance and surveillance plans
    Patent number: 6687606
    Abstract: A method analyzes a plan for scanning the content of a predetermined area. The method includes the steps of: providing a plan for at least one entity (200), the plan including a route and a set of scan points; and assigning an associated score for the plan in order to compare the plan to other plans, the score indicating the quality of the plan.
