Aerospace Research Areas
The ACFR conducts one the world's largest and most innovative R&D in the area of autonomous aerospace systems.
We tackle a broad range of research and application areas - determined to bring autonomous aerospace capabilities into reality to support Australia's industry and civilian needs.
The capability areas that we aim to deliver are:
Cooperative Autonomy - which focuses on the ability for Unmanned Air Systems (UAS) to cooperate with other air, ground, and sea platforms to achieve given mission tasks. Focus is on the science of decentralised data fusion, control and system of systems concepts.
Sliding Autonomy - which focuses on human / UAS collaboration and the interaction between the two in terms of information sharing and task handling. Focus is on the science of information representation in order to bridge the human/machine divide and the ability for each to model and understand the other's intent and desire.
Persistent Autonomy – which focuses on the ability for a UAS to learn its environment and be self-aware of its interaction with the environment, for the purposes of long endurance flight. Focus is on hybrid system concepts and machine learning techniques.
