iMUGs

The project developed a modular and scalable architecture for hybrid manned-unmanned systems in order to address a large range of missions and to enable easy update or modification of assets and functionalities within the system: aerial and ground platforms, command, control and communication equipment, sensors, payloads and algorithms. For demonstrating the features of the project, the iMUGS prototype is based on an existing unmanned ground vehicle and a specific list of payloads.
