2 Outline Dynamic Surveillance Networks DSNs for Data Exfiltration Project Concept Hardware Architecture DSN Algorithmic Approach Consensus Variables Global Optimization via Coordination Preliminary Results Conclusions.2
3 Dynamic Surveillance Networks Network of entities Communication infrastructure Entity-level functionality Implied global functionality Not necessarily homogeneous Surveillance: Primarily considering entities that are sensors Bigger picture includes actors as well Dynamic Entities may be mobile Communication topology might be time-varying Data actively and deliberately shared among entities Decision-making and learning.3
4 Motivating Example 1 Autonomous swarm for plume tracking Sensor-carrying UAVs and UGVs assess and track the development of a hazardous plume resulting from a CBR terrorism act..4
5 Motivating Example 2 Autonomous confederation building, adaptive to changes in battlefield conditions Confederation B Confederation A Target Cluster A Target Cluster B Confederation B Confederation A Target Cluster A Target Cluster B.5
6 Outline Dynamic Surveillance Networks DSNs for Data Exfiltration Project Concept Hardware Architecture DSN Algorithmic Approach Consensus Variables Global Optimization via Coordination Preliminary Results Conclusions.6
7 DSN Data Exfiltration Project Demonstrate UAVs data collection from unattended ground sensors Clusters of low-power, unattended sensors Cluttered urban environment Cooperating UAVs for fly-by data collection Payload limits restrict range Run-time issues dictate need for smart operation.7
8 DSN Data Exfiltration Project Data exfiltration application Sensor clusters are deployed by hand Not all clusters can communicate with each other Exact cluster locations are not known UAVs execute a cooperative search to find the clusters Search begins with a pre-planned raster scan Search is refined based on cluster discovery results After discovery, UAVs cooperate to collect data from all the clusters in some optimal way UAVs configure to provide maximum coverage of clusters or An optimal path is planned to travel between clusters.8
9 DSN Data Exfiltration Project Adaptation occurs in response to changes in the UAV resources or the sensor clusters: Periodically, one of the UAVs returns to the base station to relay data from the senor clusters; when this happens the remaining UAV automatically re-plans its operations If a sensor cluster is lost the UAVs cooperatively reconfigure.9
10 DSN Data Exfiltration Project Leverages Several Previous APL Efforts UAV for fly-by data collection UAV for data-hopping between ground nodes Coordinated (central control) of multiple UGVs Cooperative control of UGVs for search applications Communication framework for cooperative autonomy networks ( based) Distributed (swarm-like) UGVs and UAVs demonstrating emergent behavior: Heterogeneous Mix of Small Ground & Air Vehicles Co-Fields Behavior Algorithms Common Supervisory Control Architecture Collaborative Field Testing with Army Research Lab, Aberdeen. Initial Focus on Distributed ISR Application.10

15 Outline Dynamic Surveillance Networks DSNs for Data Exfiltration Project Concept Hardware Architecture DSN Algorithmic Approach Consensus Variables Global Optimization via Coordination Preliminary Results Conclusions.15
16 DSN Algorithmic Approach Bigger picture is coordination and control of multiple, cooperating, heterogeneous entities: Our technical approach, a generalization of potential field approaches, is based on so-called consensus variables and has connections to problems in: Coupled-oscillator synchronization Neural networks
17 Consensus Variable Perspective Assertion: Multi-agent coordination requires that some information must be shared The idea: Identify the essential information, call it the coordination or consensus variable. Encode this variable in a distributed dynamical system and come to consensus about its value Examples: Heading angles Phase of a periodic signal Mission timings In the following we build on work by Randy Beard, et al., at BYU, to use consensus variables to solve global problems in a distributed fashion.17
18 Consensus Variables Suppose we have N agents with a shared global consensus variable Each agent has a local value of the variable given as Each agent updates their local value based on the values of the agents that they can communicate with k G where ij are gains and ij defines the communication topology graph of the system of agents Key result from literature: If the graph has a spanning tree then for all i.18
19 Example: Single Consensus Variable
20 DSN Application Example 2: Spatially locate group of resources (green) to optimally cover a group of targets (targets) Targets and resources have some assumed strength and capability, respectively Resources Targets.20
21 DSN Application Corresponding node equations become: where h.21
22 DSN Application 4 targets, 2 resources 4 targets, 1 resource 6 targets, 2 resources 5 targets, 6 resources.22

26 Outline Dynamic Surveillance Networks DSNs for Data Exfiltration Project Concept Hardware Architecture DSN Algorithmic Approach Consensus Variables Global Optimization via Coordination Preliminary Results Conclusions.26
27 Concluding Comments We have presented the idea of dynamic surveillance networks Special case of a more general notion of resource networks We discussed a specific DSN concept: data exfiltration from UGS using UAVs and presented our hardware and architecture We presented an algorithmic approach to coordination for the data exfiltration problem Based on the idea of consensus variables We have discussed extensions of these ideas to the problem of global optimization via cooperating distributed entities These ideas are being applied to our dynamic surveillance network project Preliminary results showed the ability to fly autonomously using our autonomy flight board and to successfully communicate between UAVs and ground nodes.27
