Abstract
The usage of Autonomous Underwater Vehicles (AUVs) in scientific and industrial applications has increased in the last decade. In many applications the usage of fleet of heterogeneous assets is a key requirement. Their coordination and cooperation require high performance in terms of communication and information sharing. MANgO presents a federated world model operating over an underwater acoustic network through the networking capabilities provided by the SUNSET Software Defined Communication Stack (SDCS). It provides a method to transparently synchronise the local World Model (WM) of a vehicle with the rest of the heterogeneous team. The performance of the proposed architecture is demonstrated and compared with previous approaches using simulation and hardware-in-the-loop tests. Results show an improvement in the performance of at least 30% as well as the ease of integration with a variety of heterogeneous platforms.
