MISSION RE-PLANNING FOR COORDINATED MULTIVEHICLE TASK ALLOCATION
First Claim
1. A system for mission re-planning, the system comprising:
- a status module operable to;
monitor a plurality of vehicles in real-time; and
detect at least one incapacitated vehicle from among the vehicles that performs an incomplete task;
a required capability module operable to calculate an incomplete coverage area for the incomplete task;
a sufficiency capability calculation module operable to;
determine a remaining coverage set comprising a remaining coverage area for each of the vehicles;
calculate a travel distance from a task completion location of each of the vehicles to a stopped point of the at least one incapacitated vehicle to provide a travel set;
determine an extra coverage set based on the travel set and the remaining coverage set; and
compare the extra coverage set to the incomplete coverage area and the remaining coverage area to provide a sufficiency list; and
a selector module operable to assign a selected vehicle from among the vehicles based on the sufficiency list.

Abstract
A system and methods for mission re-planning are presented. Vehicles are monitored in real-time, and an incapacitated vehicle from among the vehicles that performs an incomplete task is detected. A remaining coverage set comprising a remaining coverage area for each of the vehicles is determined. A travel distance from a task completion location of each of the vehicles to a stopped point of the incapacitated vehicle is calculated to provide a travel set. An extra coverage set is determined based on the travel set and the remaining coverage set, and an incomplete coverage area for the incomplete task is calculated. The extra coverage set is compared to the incomplete coverage area and the remaining coverage area to provide a sufficiency list, and an assigned vehicle is selected from the vehicles based on the sufficiency list.
