Abstract
Apparatus to generate aircraft intent and related methods are disclosed. An example apparatus includes one or more processors configured to determine a discrete automaton of a UAV by translating boundary constraint information into linear temporal logic (LTL), determine a maneuver automaton by calculating a set of motion primitives in aircraft intent description language (AIDL), combine the discrete automaton and the maneuver automaton to generate a product automaton corresponding to a motion plan to move the UAV from the first position to a second position different from the first position, determine whether the product automaton satisfies a trajectory specification threshold, produce a second aircraft intent description of the UAV in AIDL representative of second flight plan instructions different from the first flight plan instructions when the product automaton satisfies the trajectory specification threshold, and execute the second flight plan instructions with the UAV to move the UAV to the second position.
