Improving the Resilience of UAV in Non-segregated Airspace Using Multiagent Paradigm

During the last years, Europe and USA have made efforts to integrate Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) in a non-segregated controlled airspace, aiming at their civilian use. So far, there has been no consensus on the criteria to be adopted by the community to, at least, keep the minimum safety levels as those already attained by international aviation. In this scenario, commercial aircrafts - with an increasing amount of passengers - and UAVs could be sharing the same airspace. There are a lot of concerns about the current navigation, control and surveillance system capacity as well as about the ability of analyzing and monitoring the resilience of the operating environment of the organizations and Authority Control to handle some dangerous situations caused by possible collisions between these aircraft. Based on this scenario, a research about UAV in Controlled Air Space is presented. The proposal is modeling UAV based on the Multiagent paradigm. Several scenarios and results are presented and discussed herein.
