UCATS - Status Report 3 Problem Statement Tracking Targets of Interest (TOIs) in densely populated areas present unique and difficult problems when ensuring public safety and security. Coordinating airborne UAVs to intercept and track a TOI in an urban environment is time consuming and labor intensive.

UCATS - Status Report 4 Mission Statement The UCATS is a command and control system designed to:  Route UAVs to TOIs  Monitor the UAV location  Redirect the UAVs when new tasking arrives Primary Mission:  To recommend which airborne UAVs should track TOIs  Direct the UAVs on a TOI intercept course  Monitor UAV position  Redirect the UAVs as new TOI tasking becomes available. Goal:  Reduce manpower from five operators to a single operator  Reduce mission planning time from 45 minutes to 15 minutes or less
