Abstract (EN):
Simulation tools have gained an important role in scientific, academic and even business communities, allowing for time- and cost-effective research and development of solutions, more appealing training and learning activities or providing better tools for decision support. This is particularly true in the aviation and aeronautical areas. In this paper, we compare different control strategies for specified high-level maneuvers in aircraft within a simulation environment, each aircraft represented by an independent agent, focusing on communication necessities and maneuver effectiveness. A brief overview on the project's overall architecture and an outline of structured experiences, also known as missions, available within the simulator, show the potentials of the platform for the more comprehensive goals of this project, allowing the definition and execution of cooperative missions by a team of agents, such as surveillance and search & rescue operations.
