Abstract

To facilitate the evaluation of alternative mission planning models for teams of Unmanned Air Vehicles (UAVs), a multi-agent simulation system was designed and developed. The system, referred to as Ether, is designed to be more generally applicable to a wide variety of agent-oriented systems. The simulator design has the flexibility to support a wide variety of mission planning models, yet provides infrastructure that supports rapid prototyping.
