Abstract	This talk discusses the necessary architecture and algorithms for cooperative UAS search and target detection. First the need for a component based system architecture is stressed and the Berkeley application is presented. Our current mission definition language that we are developing, the Collaborative Control Language (CSL), is discussed and recent changes to it are outlined. Next our task allocation algorithm, which is optimization based is, is outlined. Finally our recent work in distributed data fusion, applied to the cooperative search problem is discussed. Recent experiments at Camp Roberts, CA that demonstrate autonomous searching will be shown.
