Use of Artificial Potential Fields for UAV Guidance and Optimization of WLAN Communications

摘要

Wireless Local Area Networks (WLAN) are quicklybecoming an important part of regional military operations.The use of standardized internet protocols enables a widevariety of vehicles, sensors and peIXOMd to interoperate moreeffectiveIy. For Autonomous Underwater Vehicles (Auv), theypermit a potentialIy great improvement to distribute outputsfrom data intensive sensors like sonar and video to observers.For a neet of AWs tasked with area underwater search andsurvey, WLANs can facilitate situational awareness, re-taskingand expedience,
