MORGANTOWN, W.Va., Nov. 2 (UPI) -- Augusta Systems Inc. announced a successful demonstration of its unmanned aerial and ground vehicle and sensors networking platform by the U.S. Navy.

U.S. company Augusta Systems says its EdgeFrontier platform has been successfully demonstrated by the Naval Air Systems Command at the NASA Wallops Island, Va., installation.

The EdgeFrontier is a platform powering the intelligent networking of unmanned air and ground vehicles, unattended ground sensors, and video camera technologies among other systems. Officials say the demonstration successfully illustrated a swarm, or multi-unmanned systems operation.

"This capability of managing multiple swarms of unmanned vehicles and sensors is a significant achievement," Patrick Esposito, Augusta Systems president and chief executive officer, said in a statement.

"Working with Augusta Systems and its partner, Vector Research Center, NAVAIR demonstrated autonomous operations of multiple, cooperative swarms, including options for dynamic redirection of assets between the swarms."
