An Ad-Hoc Network for Teams of Autonomous Vehicles

Overview This paper presents the study of a mobile ad-hoc network for teams of autonomous vehicles. The paper discusses the special challenges presented by the autonomous team model, and it presents the self-sustaining, self-configuring dynamic network architecture the paper has developed to address them. The paper further discusses actual field experiments in which elements of the architecture have been proven through realistic test scenarios using surrogate unmanned aerial and ground vehicles.
