Abstract

This paper describes a research program that validates a real-time model of multi-agent shared intentions in a set of manned Free Flight air operations scenarios performed in a high-fidelity, multi-agent simulator system. The shared model of intentions is based on the OPAL software system previously developed by Applied Systems Intelligence, Inc. The validation was conducted as a series of manned simulation tests performed at the Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University´s Airways Simulation Laboratory. The results identify accuracy and granularity requirements for the use of shared models of intention as a basis for early conflict detection and resolution in Free Flight operations
