### Details

Acronym | RAMSES
Description | Fully autonomous multi-sensor-based helicopter system capable of taking off from a charging dock atop a Mars rover, then conducting aerial reconnaissance for operator-requested POI inspection or autonomous terrain mapping before landing back on the rover to recharge.

### Summary

In 2021, the first Uncrewed Aerial Vehicle (UAV) performed its first flight on Mars. With this flight, Ingenuity developed by NASA, proved that VTOL aircraft can operate under Martian conditions. However, furtherresearch and development is necessary to take out full advantage of flying vehicles during a Mars mission.

The Rover Aerial Mars Support and Exploration System (RAM-SES) is a technology system for future UAVs using an AI-based network to autonomously detect landing sites in Mars-like environments. With participation in AMADEE-24, RAMSES’s novel approach demonstrates the process of detecting visual points of interest, either scientifically or for safe UAV navigation.

The expected outcome is to utilize an AI-based network togenerate a heat map for successfully detecting landing sites inthe mission area. Additionally, the system contains gener-ated pixel-wise maps and provides comprehensive and detaileddepictions of scientific points of interest in Mars-like environments. RAMSES evaluates data gathered by other robotic vehicles to create the aforementioned heat map and points of interest. In turn, this data can enhance the mission capabilities ofother teams to further demonstrate collaboration between experiments.

To achieve the defined experiment objectives within AMADEE-24,RAMSES focuses on evaluating data gathered by the SAMPLE experiment. With the help of the ground truth of the mission area data,we are able to compare the system’s pixel-wise map coordinates andimprove the precision of the location of notable features for scientific research in order to contribute to the advancement of scientificknowledge about the environment. In the context of collaborative experimentation, RAMSES shall be subjected to proof-of-concept teststhat aim to exhibit its capabilities in supporting AMADEE-24 andfuture missions.
