Lockheed Martin and Poland collaborate on UAVs

Lockheed Martin and the Warsaw University of Technology in Poland have demonstrated optimization technology for controlling multiple UAVs.

"Through the use of advanced mathematic calculations, and a systems-of-systems approach, the technology bolsters mission efficiency by adapting the fleet's commanded flight paths, speeds, division of duties, and sensor performance," according to a Lockheed Martin news release.

Users were able to improve UAV planning by 10 to 20 performance.

"The recent demonstration can be equated to a search and rescue task, where every minute shaved off of a search pattern could be the difference between life and death," Lockheed Martin said. "In another example, if UAVs were to be used to deliver small packages to consumers, the 10 to 20 percent performance improvement could be the competitive edge that keeps an operation in business ahead of the competition."
