Multi-UAV Search & Rescue
Overview
The 2020 I/ITSEC IronDev challenged teams to make a collaborative, distributed virtual environment to showcase augmented and virtual reality technology.
To meet the challenge, the GRILL® team chose to create a distributed, collaborative UAV search and rescue simulation.
The simulation allows for the operation of multiple UAVs, the visualization of each drone feed in the operation, collaborative mission planning, and it provides situational awareness information through target recognition and live positional data.
