Aurora’s Adaptive Control Architecture Demonstrates Success on the Water

Published on April 16, 2024

Aurora Flight Sciences, a Boeing company, has been putting its “Fast Adaptation and Learning for Control Online” (FALCON) control architecture to the test on the waters of the Charles River in Boston, Massachusetts. The latest tests demonstrated relative vessel-to-vessel station keeping for an underway replenishment (UNREP) scenario and automated passage through the Suez Canal. In each scenario, an autonomously controlled, unmanned surface vessel (USV), employed adaptive control to overcome a variety of disturbances while completing the mission.
