Autonomous Aircraft Executes Mission Plan in Collaborative Tool Test, Navy Says

The useful part

The U.S Navy recently demonstrated that an autonomous aircraft can receive a mission plan and execute that mission as part of the Collaborative Autonomy Mission Planning (CAMP) tool, the service announced Tuesday. CAMP is meant to integrate autonomous aircraft with mission planners, helping the two communicate in a common way. Mission planners develop the overall mission – including what each aircraft should do, when it should do it, and what authorities and limitations apply in the Collaborative Mission Planning Continuum (CMPC) – and then CAMP translates that information into a format an autonomous aircraft can use to carry out its
