POST CONFERENCE WORKSHOP DAY: 28 FEBRUARY, 2013
MORNING SESSION: 09.30 – 12.00
FUTURE ISR THROUGH MULTIPLE AUTONOMOUS UAS
Led By:
Professor Antonios Tsourdos, Head of the Centre for Autonomous Systems, Cranfield University
Professor RafałŻbikowski, Professor of Control Engineering, Cranfield University

Part 1
Guaranteed behaviour of autonomous co-operating UAVs in ISR missions
Multiple unmanned aerial vehicles (MUAVs) can provide significant reductions in manpower and risk to humans for ISR, including:
enhancement of ISR coverage; increase in the mission success rate; increase of autonomy; robustness and benign degradation in
performance. A key issue which must be addressed in order for the potential benefits to be realised is guaranteed performance of
the dynamic behaviour of MUAVs. In this part we shall focus on coordinating of MUAVs in a predictable and verifiable way, including
preservation of communication network integrity.
Part 2
Bio-inspired sensing for autonomous operation of sensor platforms
A key enabler for realisation of the battlefield potential of autonomous vehicles is endowing them with affordable sensing. This
entails not only low-cost hardware, but also sparing use of the communication datalink, contrary to the current practice of realtime
streaming of video and other high-bandwidth sensor data for human-intensive, ground-based, off-line analysis. Bio-inspired approach
to this problem leads to content-activated sensing, which means information extraction only in reaction to appearance of the relevant
information in the data. Operating in GSP-denied environment is naturally addressed by this framework. In this part we shall focus on
content-activated sensing, which can dramatically reduce the cost and time of sensor processing, datalink utilisation
and also reduces human workload for the ground operator/analyst.
Benefits of attending include:
v	Access to the most update technology research that will define the future of the UAV market
v	How UAVs can operate in adverse environments where they previously would be unable to function
v	A discussion on achieving a reduced operating personnel without impacting the intelligence gathered
v	Achieving a reduction in both cost and time of sensor processing




AFTERNOON SESSION: 13.00 – 15.30
Hyper-Spectral and Multi-Spectral Imaging, Processing, and Analysis
Led By:
Dr. Mike Cathcart, Group Lead, Intelligence Surveillance and Reconnaissance (ISR) Electro-Optical Systems Laboratory, Georgia Tech
Research Institute

Georgia Tech is currently engaged in a Multi-University Research Initiative (MURI) program, sponsored by the Army Research Office.
This program is designed to investigate and understand the detailed phenomenolgy underlying the detection of humans in traditionally
difficult circumstances (such as buildings, caves, tunnels, or camouflaged individuals). This is a basic research program designed to
explore new areas of human signature phenomenology in order to aid in the creation of new sensors, new sensor modalities, and new
sensor network. The research results will have wide application in both military (such as sniper location, perimeter intrusion, cave &
tunnel monitoring) and non-military applications (like border surveillance, smuggling, and search & rescue).
How you will benefit:
v	Develop your knowledge of one of the leading ISR research programs in the US
v	Understand the latest developments in remote sensing technologies for use in difficult environments
v	Gain a unique perspective on how new sensor technologies are developed and take away valuable lessons for your business

A key issue which must be addressed in order for the potential benefits to be realised is guaranteed performance of the dynamic behaviour of MUAVs. In this part we shall focus on coordinating of MUAVs in a predictable and verifiable way, including preservation of communication network integrity. Part 2 Bio-inspired sensing for autonomous operation of sensor platforms A key enabler for realisation of the battlefield potential of autonomous vehicles is endowing them with affordable sensing. This entails not only low-cost hardware, but also sparing use of the communication datalink, contrary to the current practice of realtime streaming of video and other high-bandwidth sensor data for human-intensive, ground-based, off-line analysis. Bio-inspired approach to this problem leads to content-activated sensing, which means information extraction only in reaction to appearance of the relevant information in the data. Operating in GSP-denied environment is naturally addressed by this framework. In this part we shall focus on content-activated sensing, which can dramatically reduce the cost and time of sensor processing, datalink utilisation and also reduces human workload for the ground operator/analyst. Benefits of attending include: v Access to the most update technology research that will define the future of the UAV market v How UAVs can operate in adverse environments where they previously would be unable to function v A discussion on achieving a reduced operating personnel without impacting the intelligence gathered v Achieving a reduction in both cost and time of sensor processing AFTERNOON SESSION: 13.00 – 15.30 Hyper-Spectral and Multi-Spectral Imaging, Processing, and Analysis Led By: Dr. Mike Cathcart, Group Lead, Intelligence Surveillance and Reconnaissance (ISR) Electro-Optical Systems Laboratory, Georgia Tech Research Institute Georgia Tech is currently engaged in a Multi-University Research Initiative (MURI) program, sponsored by the Army Research Office. This program is designed to investigate and understand the detailed phenomenolgy underlying the detection of humans in traditionally difficult circumstances (such as buildings, caves, tunnels, or camouflaged individuals). This is a basic research program designed to explore new areas of human signature phenomenology in order to aid in the creation of new sensors, new sensor modalities, and new sensor network. The research results will have wide application in both military (such as sniper location, perimeter intrusion, cave & tunnel monitoring) and non-military applications (like border surveillance, smuggling, and search & rescue). How you will benefit: v Develop your knowledge of one of the leading ISR research programs in the US v Understand the latest developments in remote sensing technologies for use in difficult environments v Gain a unique perspective on how new sensor technologies are developed and take away valuable lessons for your business For your booking enquiries call us on +44 (0)20 7368 9737
