Abstract

Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS) offer many opportunities in a wide range of industries to support remote sensing and surveillance. While platform autonomy and intelligence have seen large advances in recent decades, a key challenge is the operation of multiple Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAV) by a single operator in 'one-to-many' operations. To support one-to-many operations, higher levels of human-autonomy teaming are required, where human operators collaborate with autonomous agents through the use of adaptive Human-Machine Interfaces and Interactions (HMI 2 ). In this paper, the one-to-many concept is applied to a bushfire-fighting scenario. The paper presents the UAV avionics systems design along with the Ground Control Station (GCS) design, which features a number of emerging HMI 2 concepts.
