Abstract

We take the first step to demonstrate the feasibility of using Modular, Extensible, Interoperable Autonomy (MEIA) to support the Internet of Military Things (IoMT) by implementing MEIA for an Aurelia drone. We set up a pipeline for autonomy development (PAD) which includes tools and processes that facilitate autonomy development. We implement both the middleware and internal data management to run our MEIA solution which includes the autonomy algorithms capable of executing various missions. We provide the results of our final demonstrations which mark the completion of this initial step to demonstrate MEIA as a viable cross-domain, autonomy architecture for IoMT.
