Abstract
This paper illustrates three agent technologies deployed in the Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) target tracking domain. These capabilities enable: (1) coordination of the tracking of multiple targets among a set of UAVs, (2) identification of the best subset of assigned UAVs from which to collect location information, and (3) evaluation of location information accuracy. These capabilities aid the efficient and effective collection and verification of target location information.
