• runUxAS_MultiVehicleWatchTask.py - This script runs UxAS with the details in the UxAS configuration file
• runAMASE_MultiVehicleWatchTask.py - This script runs AMASE with the AMASE configuration file.
• Scenario_MultiVehicleWatchTask.xml - The AMASE configuration file for this example.
• MessagesToSend/ - Contains the messages send by UxAS with the send messages service.
• MessagesToSend/AirVehicleConfiguration_V101.xml - Details for air vehicle 101.
• MessagesToSend/AirVehicleState_V101.xml - Air vehicle 101's initial state.
• MessagesToSend/AirVehicleConfiguration_V102.xml - Details for air vehicle 102.
• MessagesToSend/AirVehicleState_V102.xml - Air vehicle 102's initial state.
• MessagesToSend/AirVehicleConfiguration_V103.xml - Details for air vehicle 103.
• MessagesToSend/AirVehicleState_V103.xml - Air vehicle 103's initial state.
• MessagesToSend/MultiVehicleWatchTask_100.xml - The multi-vehicle watch task that requests a watch of vehicle 103.
• MessagesToSend/AutomationRequestMultiVehicleWatch.xml.xml - The automation request for the multi-vehicle watch task.

Running the example:

1. Open a terminal window in the directory: "examples/tasks/MultiVehicleWatchTask"
2. enter the command python3 runUxAS_MultiVehicleWatchTask.py or ./runUxAS_MultiVehicleWatchTask.py
3. open another terminal window in the directory: "examples/tasks/MultiVehicleWatchTask"
4. enter the command python3 runAMASE_MultiVehicleWatchTask.py or ./runAMASE_MultiVehicleWatchTask.py
5. start the AMASE simulation (i.e. press the play button)

What happens?

• When the AMASE simulation starts, vehicles 101, 102, and 103 will be initialized and begin flying east.
• After 4 seconds, an automation request for the multi-vehicle watch task is sent.
• Once plans have been calculated, vehicles 101 and 102 will begin watching vehicle 103.
