Talk-17: Adapting MOOS-IvP to the Navy's Unmanned Maritime Autonomy Architecture (UMAA)
Paul Schmitt, Sr. Field Applications Engineer with Real-Time Innovations.
Data Distribution Service (DDS™) is a software communication framework that meets the needs of real-time autonomous maritime systems. It is widely deployed by the US Navy and used in many UUVs and USVs. In fact, the Navy's Unmanned Maritime Autonomy Architecture (UMAA) refers to DDS as the "Autonomy Bus" to move data between distributed subsystems.
This presentation will provide a brief overview of UMAA and why it is important for maritime systems developers looking to address both commercial and US Navy markets (so-called dual-use .) It will then touch on DDS (the UMAA Autonomy bus), highlighting the unique aspects of data-centricity and fine-grained Quality of Service (QoS) control, allowing the delivery of the same data differently to different applications. DDS delivers data where, when, and how it is needed, making it appear local to each application. It simplifies the applications, allowing the developer to focus on the maritime aspects rather than the communications framework. We'll show out-of-the-box capabilities to help you integrate UMAA with protocols such as MOOS-IvP.
