The US Army seeks to exploit the low-altitude, hovering, and vertical takeoff and landing capability of unmanned helicopters without the intensive planning and execution required to avoid obstacles and threats. The Autonomous Rotorcraft Project (ARP) is developing an all-inclusive autonomous helicopter research platform using unique in-house skills in helicopter guidance and flight control, robotics planning and scheduling, and emerging UAV sensor technology. Unlike part-task research platforms, the comprehensive ARP autonomous helicopter system will be capable of identifying and addressing those weaknesses that most impact mission effectiveness. This will be done so that This paper will describe ARP efforts to identify and solve the challenges of helicopter autonomy. Included in this description is a candidate mission on which ARP development is focused, the associated vehicle hardware and software development, and the chosen autonomous agent architecture and its application.
