ARK is a quick-connect payload introducing a new suite of
intelligent mission capabilities for Group 1+ unmanned aircraft
systems (UAS). Providing edge computing for mission-critical
applications, ARK enables operators to task a single or
multi-vehicle team with mission objectives for fully autonomous
execution while operating in communications-contested environments.
ARK also intelligently integrates with distributed groups of
dismounted units in a Mobile Ad Hoc Network (MANET) using the
Android Team Awareness Kit (ATAK).
AVACORE is AV’s autonomy software providing an open framework
for unmanned systems. It features a modular set of interfaces such
as autopilots, radios and sensors, and supports rapid integration
with new platforms and applications. ARK also comes preinstalled
with SPOTR-Edge, AV’s computer vision software, for onboard
detection, classification, localization, and tracking of
operationally relevant objects including people, vehicles,
aircraft, and maritime vessels, day or night.
“ARK and AVACORE provide enhanced capabilities and critical
advantages to warfighters on complex battlefields,” said AV’s
Senior Vice President of MacCready Works, Jeff Rodrian. “This
payload combines AV’s unparalleled autonomy and field-proven
computer vision SPOTR-Edge to accelerate awareness and mission
success.”
Though the combination of autonomy and computer vision, ARK and
AVACORE allow operators to select a wide variety of single or
multi-agent capabilities including multi-region search, track and
follow and more. The introduction of these systems builds upon AV’s
proven and trusted family of autonomous systems, bringing a
scalable, adaptable AI toolset to fielded and new assets for safer,
smarter mission capabilities.
“AVACORE features an intuitive behavior tree approach allowing
flexibility for rapid development and adoption of new autonomous
missions,” continued Rodrian. “This results in smarter systems with
reduced cognitive load for warfighters.”
