Introduction

Problem:

Coordinating airborne Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) to
intercept and track a Target Of Interest (TOI) in an urban
environment is time consuming and labor intensive.

Mission Statement



The UCATS is a command and control system designed to:
 Route UAVs to TOIs
 Monitor the UAV location
 Redirect the UAVs when new tasking arrives
Primary Mission:
 To recommend which airborne UAVs should track TOIs
 Direct the UAVs on a TOI intercept course
 Monitor UAV position
 Redirect the UAVs as new TOI tasking becomes available.
Goal:
 Reduce manpower from 5 people to 1
 Reduce time required to calculate TOI intercept from 45
minutes to 5 minutes
