Lockheed Martin and the Warsaw University of Technology (WUT) have concluded an advanced applied research programme on the integration between unmanned and manned airborne platform systems, the company announced on 28 August.

The Optimizing Unmanned System of Systems (OpUSS) programme aimed to find new ways of managing different systems in ground stations and aircraft operating simultaneously toward a common mission.

Lockheed Martin assisted WUT in the development of simulation systems and unmanned airborne platform assets. The company also supported the development of software that was used during the programme.

The results of the OpUSS programme were presented at the American Society of Aeronautics and Astronautics (AIAA) conference and the three associated academic works were formally published by the AIAA.

Janusz Narkiewicz, head of department, automation and aeronautical systems, WUT, said: 'In addition to strengthening the relationship between WUT, Polish academia and Lockheed Martin, the [WUT] team's findings represent a significant contribution to the field of unmanned systems research. We are very pleased with this team's work and the outcome of this important project.'
