Abstract

This tutorial provides an introduction to the growing field of Unmanned Systems and the role that Ada plays in solving the challenges presented when designing, building, and operating Unmanned Systems. The tutorial begins with an introduction to the fundamentals of ground, air, and maritime Unmanned Systems and the specific challenges of these systems. The authors will demonstrate how they are using Ada over RTEMS in developing Large Unmanned Ground Vehicles. RTEMS is an open source, real-time operating system that provides a high performance environment for embedded applications on a range of processors and embedded hardware. The attendee will gain hands-on experience in developing an Ada application over RTEMS using an environment that provides a complete GNAT Ada installation with all sources and scripts as well as the prebuilt toolset and simulators. The attendee will gain from this tutorial an understanding of Unmanned Systems and a practical application of how Ada can be used in the development of these systems.
