New Simulation Capability Aids UAV Research: "Thanks to Air Force Research Laborflatory design and development expertise, an important new collaborative simulation capability--one facilitating coopera-tive unmanned air vehicle research--has emerged. The pursuit of a shared simulation capability for independent teams generated the AVTAS (Aerospace Vehicles Technology Assessment and Simulation) UAV toolset.
The new technology levels the playing field for collaborating teams of researchers, who previously contended with simulation capability variances that disrupted or otherwise degraded their common research efforts. In addition to removing disparity, the AVTAS UAV toolset provides a common framework for each team's design implementation and test, while protecting the team's proprietary information."
