An intelligent agents based platform is presented which offers an instantaneous, automatic decision-making capability, enabling the execution of complex system level power management and mission planning/re-planning tasks on board a UAV. The agents platform is integrated with a 100 kW, aircraft power systems experimental test facility to demonstrate the response of the entire system to vignette- based mission events which are triggered both by the test hardware, such as electrical drive faults, and emulated events, such as a fuel shortage.
