First Claim
Patent Images
1. A system for managing coordination and targeting of mobile robotic vehicles, comprising:
- a plurality of mobile robotic vehicles (MRVs) each having a plurality of sensors for capturing sensor data on a plurality of targets, wherein a squad includes a squad lead MRV and member MRVs;
wherein the plurality of MRVs function as a network to continually track the plurality of targets as the plurality of targets change position;
wherein the sensor data captured by the member MRVs is forwarded to the squad lead MRV;
wherein the squad lead MRV uses the sensor data to establish specific target positions and provide instructions to the member MRVs to attack the specific target positions.

Abstract
In a multirobotic system comprised of automated mobile robotic vehicles (MRVs), a network of MRV drones provides sensor information to a lead MRV, which calculates the distance to objects in the environment. By using a method of optic flow to map coordinates in spatial positions, MRVs establish mission priorities and work as a group to accomplish a mission. Once the operational coordination is made for the group to organize its priorities and tasks, the enemy targets are struck in a sequence according to mission parameters.
