In short

This master thesis project at Saab in Linköping, Sweden, focuses on mission-critical runtime assurance for autonomous combat aircraft. Students will investigate how to supervise complex planning and decision-making functions to ensure mission feasibility and capability, involving theoretical analysis, algorithm development, and simulation.

Responsibilities

  • Investigate mission-critical runtime assurance for autonomous combat aircraft.
  • Study supervision of advanced planning or guidance functions at runtime.
  • Define and evaluate mission feasibility and recoverability metrics.
  • Develop and implement runtime assurance concepts and algorithms.
  • Conduct literature study and evaluation through simulation.
  • Address topics like prediction of future mission feasibility under uncertainty, fallback behaviors, and interaction between mission-critical and safety-critical assurance.

Requirements

  • Currently in the final stage of a master’s program in Applied Physics and Electrical Engineering or equivalent.
  • About to begin a 30 hp thesis project.
  • Interest in automatic control, optimization, agentic models, and autonomous systems.
  • Willingness to undergo security vetting.

Desired Qualifications

  • The project is suitable for preferably one, at maximum two students.

Benefits

  • Opportunity to apply theoretical knowledge to real-world challenges.
  • Collaborate with experienced engineers and specialists.
  • Gain invaluable practical experience.
  • Make a tangible contribution to company growth and development.
  • Work on a research problem closely connected to the development of future mission capabilities.
  • Be part of ongoing research and development on distributed sensing, data fusion, autonomy, and resilient mission systems.
