• runUxAS_WatchTask.py - This script runs UxAS with the details in the UxAS configuration file

• runAMASE_WatchTask.py - This script runs AMASE with the AMASE configuration file.

• Scenario_WatchTask.xml - The AMASE configuration file for this example.

• MessagesToSend/ - Contains the messages sent by UxAS with the send messages service.

• 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.

Running the example:

1. Open a terminal window in the directory: "examples/tasks/WatchTask/"
2. enter the command python3 runUxAS_WatchTask.py or ./runUxAS_WatchTask.py

4. enter the command python3 runAMASE_WatchTask.py or ./runAMASE_WatchTask.py
5. start the AMASE simulation (i.e. press the play button)

What happens?

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