We present an onboard mission management for a decentralized multi-UAV system using behavior-trees. For task (re-)assignment, a decentralized auction-based task assignment algorithm is integrated into the behavior tree to enable reactive behaviors to changing tasks. We demonstrate our system in an exemplary maritime surveillance use case in simulation.
