Autonomous Collaborative Teaming (ACT) - Routing Service Architecture

RTI Routing Service architecture for Autonomous Collaborative Teaming use cases to manage message flow between Platforms (UxV's) and Control stations.

This use case is centered around a Maritime ISR scenario but can be adapted for other collaborative teaming applications.
