Airborne platforms are vehicles operating in highly critical and decisive contexts. These platforms carry a wide collection of instruments supplying numerous actions required during a mission. These instruments are mostly a set of sensors aiming to collect data from the environment called theater. This set of sensors offers a large panel of functions to the platform’s manager during the flight. We will see in this article how the needs’ transformation as well as the numerous environment constraints turn the design of the architecture of the multi-sensors system into a complex task. Firstly, we will detail the agents of our architecture and show the flexibility and the autonomy they bring to the multi-sensors systems deployed on airborne platforms. Then, we will propose a generic agent-based architecture which takes into account the aforesaid constraints.
