This paper addresses the system design and integration challenges involved in meeting the requirements for coordinated deployment of multiple re-configurable Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS).

RTI has created a number of additional capabilities for its OMG Data Distribution Service (DDS) compliant middleware, specifically to address the challenges of constrained network communication. This paper discusses some sample network types and present solutions using RTI Data Distribution Service.

Designing and building an unmanned autonomous vehicle (UAV) is one of the most difficult problems in engineering; and it is particularly challenging from a software systems perspective. By optimizing software performance, scalability, high availability and reliability, security, interoperability, and affordability, system designers can create a UAV that is adaptable to new mission parameters while remaining robust across the product lifecycle.
