CoSAR-TS Introduction

CoSAR-TS began in January 2003 and will last for 36 months. It is partly funded by the DARPA DAML Program.

The objective is to study and develop a demonstrator for Task Support in a realistic and highly dynamic Coalition Search and Rescue scenario. Research at AIAI on I-X Task Support and intelligent agent systems is linked with IHMC work on KAoS Agent Domain and Policy Management concepts. OWL representations, and OWL-S descriptions of agents and services are utilized. Feedback to the OWL-S and Semantic Web Services development community is being provided.

Sea Rescue: A US HH-60G Pavehawk helicopter from the 56th Rescue Squadron, Keflavik NAS, Iceland, performs a rescue of a simulated downed airman off the coast of Iceland. During the rescue of the airman, a pararescueman jumps from the helicopter to help the survivor into the stretcher so he may be hoisted up. [U.S. Air Force photo by Senior Amn.
