Researchers at FAU's CA-AI are developing machine learning technologies to enable autonomous systems to sense, learn, and act in coordination. The project aims to overcome the challenge of individual smart systems failing to collaborate effectively as part of a network.
Florida Atlantic University has received a $4.5 million grant from the US Air Force to establish a high-fidelity platform for autonomous decision-making and real-time sensor fusion research. The T-1A Jayhawk simulator will be used to study cognitive performance, situational awareness, stress and decision-making under pressure.
Cmdr. J. Aaron Roberts handed over command to Cmdr. Luis A. Levine after leading the squadron for a year, achieving over 1,500 mishap-free flight hours and supporting vital science and technology projects. The new CO has vowed to carry on the tradition of premier airborne science and technology support.
Researchers developed a mathematical model that accounts for variables such as helicopter resources and operational range to optimize air movement tasks. The model can perform planning functions in under an hour, saving commanders three to five hours compared to traditional methods.
