Optimal Search for Finding Satellites Post-Launch
Carlo Schreiber, Duncan Eddy, Mahdi Al-Husseini +3
This paper introduces Bayesian Continuation Model Predictive Control (BC-MPC), an adaptive method that replans near-term antenna pointings while continuing a feasible baseline swee…
Risk-Averse Lander Site Selection under Altitude-Limited Information
Vikas A. Patel, Mahdi Al-Husseini, Duncan Eddy +1
In aerospace systems, powered descent requires efficiently selecting a landing site while fine-scale hazards remain unresolvable until low altitude. This process presents a decisio…
Semi-Decentralized Multi-Spacecraft Collision Avoidance under Communication Constraints
Grace Ra Kim, Mahdi Al-Husseini, Duncan Eddy +1
Current spacecraft collision-avoidance operations rely on intermittent ground-station contacts, requiring operators to plan with delayed and asynchronously updated information. Con…
A Semi-Decentralized Approach to Multiagent Control
Mahdi Al-Husseini, Mykel J. Kochenderfer, Kyle H. Wray
We introduce an expressive framework and algorithms for the semi-decentralized control of cooperative agents in environments with communication uncertainty. Whereas semi-Markov con…
Digital Simulations to Enhance Military Medical Evacuation Decision-Making
Jeremy Fischer, Mahdi Al-Husseini, Ram Krishnamoorthy +2
Medical evacuation is one of the United States Army's most storied and critical mission sets, responsible for efficiently and expediently evacuating the battlefield ill and injured…
Semi-Markovian Planning to Coordinate Aerial and Maritime Medical Evacuation Platforms
Mahdi Al-Husseini, Kyle H. Wray, Mykel J. Kochenderfer
The transfer of patients between two aircraft using an underway watercraft increases medical evacuation reach and flexibility in maritime environments. The selection of any one of…
Watercraft as Overwater Ambulance Exchange Points to Enhance Aeromedical Evacuation
Mahdi Al-Husseini, Kyle H. Wray, Mykel J. Kochenderfer
Ambulance exchange points are preidentified sites where patients are transferred between evacuation platforms while en route to enhanced medical care. We propose a new capability f…
Hierarchical Framework for Optimizing Wildfire Surveillance and Suppression using Human-Autonomous Teaming
Mahdi Al-Husseini, Kyle Wray, Mykel Kochenderfer
The integration of manned and unmanned aircraft can help improve wildfire response. Wildfire containment failures occur when resources available to first responders, who execute th…
