Decision making based on aggregated target data

Abstract

A plurality of platforms 31-35 e.g. UAVs form a graph of nodes and edges. The UAVs 31-35 sense data about local objects 36. The platforms 31-35 share object data between themselves. The UAVs 31-35 generate aggregated object data based on the local object data and the shared information communicated between platforms 31-35 in accordance with a message aggregation scheme. The UAVs 31-35 generate target information for a target 36 of the objects 36 based on the aggregated object data. The platforms 31-35 make a decision e.g. movement control, based on the target information. [Fig 3]
