Description of the project
The “Manned Unmanned System for HElicopteR” (MUSHER) project aims at improving the European capacity of operating both manned and unmanned aerial platforms in a multienvironment (civil, military or mixed). The main goal of the project is to design a scalable European Manned UnManned Teaming (e-MUMT) system, allowing manned platforms (Helicopter) and Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) from European forces to interoperate operational scenarios selected from NATO studies and deliver the maximum capacity for the operational mission with high level interoperability and UAV autonomy, crew load reduction, and improved safety. Main European actors will collaborate from state-of-the-art assessment, CONOPS definition, specification and architecture of the generic European Manned Unmanned Teaming (e- MUMT) system, fast and real time simulations, to the flight demonstration involving heterogeneous Helicopters, UAVs and Ground Control Stations. MUSHER will conclude by a roadmap for further future development and a proposed new standardization at EU level. The envisaged outcome of MUSHER project will contribute to allow the armed forces within the EU to engage together in actions requiring close interactions and interconnections.
