Abstract

Many aspects of unmanned air vehicle (UAV) operations In this paper, we consider some idempotent modifications of stochastic and Bayesian analysis suitable for decision making in mixed initiative and multi-agent systems. Of particular interest are techniques for mixed initiative and highly autonomous operation. We examine certain Markov Decision Processes (MDPs) within the context of max-plus probability, and we discuss their application to problems of control of unmanned air sensing assets.
