Multiple Integrated Navigation Sensors for Improved Occupancy Grid Fastslam
An autonomous vehicle must accurately observe its location within the environment to interact with objects andaccomplish its mission. When its environment is unknown, the vehicle must construct a map detailing its surroundingswhile using it to maintain an accurate location. Such a vehicle is faced with the circularly defined SimultaneousLocalization and Mapping (SLAM) problem. However difficult, SLAM is a critical component of autonomous vehicleexploration with applications to search and rescue. To current knowledge, this research presents the first SLAM solutionto integrate stereo cameras, inertial measurements, and vehicle odometry into a Multiple Integrated Navigation Sensor(MINS) path. The implementation combines the MINS path with LIDAR to observe and map the environment using theFastSLAM algorithm. In real-world tests, a mobile ground vehicle equipped with these sensors completed a 140 meterloop around indoor hallways. This SLAM solution produces a path that closes the loop and remains within 1 meter oftruth, reducing the error 92% from an image-inertial navigation system and 79% from odometry FastSLAM.This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.

The CV-22 "Osprey" and the Impact on Air Force Combat Search and Rescue
This paper answers the following question: How will the CV-22's unique qualities advance the state of the art of Air Force CSAR? Conducting the CSAR mission with the CV-22 will eradicate current mission deficiencies and enhance execution through advances in Combat Search and Rescue Task Force and command and control doctrine. In addition to evolving current doctrine to enhance CSAR, the CV-22 will lead to new CSAR capabilities and doctrine. Finally, the CV-22 will enhance two Air Force core competencies: global attack and rapid global mobility.This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.

Broadcast vs. Precise GPS Ephemerides
The Global Positioning System (GPS) Operational Control Segment (OCS) generates predicted satellite ephemerides and clock corrections that are broadcast in the navigation message and used by receivers to estimate real-time satellite position and clock corrections for use in navigation solutions. Any errors in these ephemerides will directly impact the accuracy of GPS based positioning. This study compares the satellite position computed using broadcast ephemerides with the precise position provided by the International GPS Service for Geodynamics (IGS) Final Orbit solution. Similar comparisons have been undertaken in the past, but for only short periods of time. This study presents an analysis of the GPS broadcast ephemeris position error on a daily basis over the entire period 14 Nov 1993 through to 1 Nov 2001. The statistics of these errors were also analysed. In addition, the satellite position computed using the almanac ephemeris was compared to the IGS precise final orbit to determine the long-term effect of using older almanac data.This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.

The Future of USAF Combat Search and Rescue
The genesis of this paper is based on the following concept. The need to recover isolated personnel quickly and reliability raises many policy issues about U.S. combat air search and rescue forces, not the least of which relate to the suitability of their aircraft fleet. Along these lines, this study asks the question of whether the USAF should be satisfied with its helicopter-based CSAR force for the indefinite future, or whether it should make definite plans to replace those helicopters expeditiously with tiltrotor aircraft, probably the Bell-Boeing V-22 Osprey. The first part of this paper analyses the role CSAR has played in the Air Force's past and the current and future requirements of USAF CSAR forces. The conclusions reached are that both historically in times of conflict and in today's operational environment a requirement existed and will continue to exist for CSAR capabilities. Additionally, the need to react quickly over greater distances will impact the structure of tomorrow's CSAR forces. The second part of the paper analyses the impact of speed, range and survivability on the success or failure of rescue operations through the use of three case studies. The case studies indicate that in varying degrees both the planning and probability of success of rescue missions are influenced by the effects of speed, range and survivability. From a strict operational viewpoint, an aircraft that has increased speed, range and survivability would be more flexible and capable in the CSAR mission.This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.

The Impact of FASTSHIP and High Speed Sealift on Strategic Sealift
The commercial sealift industry is breaking free of the constraints of traditional hull designs that characterize present vessels. Several alternative designs are being developed to fulfill the need for high speed, heavy payload capable, long distance transportation. One such design, FASTSHIP is thought to be capable of speeds of 45 knots, carrying 8000 long tons, over 5000 nautical miles. This paper uses a combination of spreadsheet based linear programming (LP) and genetic algorithms (GA) to find the best mix of a military application of FASTSHIP's capabilities in strategic sealift. Using data and requirements from past Mobility Requirements Studies (MRS), the Excel based Sealift Optimization Model finds a minimum Net Present Value (NPV) cost mix of sealift ships needed to meet given requirements of cargo and containers within a specified time period subject to several constraints. Various acquisition methods are explored in the determination of cost to include buy, lease, and joint commercial use. Analysis of the model output validates that the current sealift mix is sufficient, however FASTSHIP may provide added capability to meet increased requirements at a cost with a commercial joint venture offering the least cost solution, especially if the Ready Reserve Force (RRF) is allowed to decrease.This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.

Agile Transportation for the 21st Century Objectives for the Defense Transportation System
The Department of Defense (DoD) recognizes the benefits of in-transit visibility of commodities throughout the Defense Transportation System (DTS). The United States Transportation Command (USTRANSCOM) created the Global Transportation Network (GTN) as the primary command and control (C2) tool to capture and utilize in-transit cargo data. Currently, the USTRANSCOM J5 is developing an advanced concept in technology demonstration (ACTD) called Agile Transportation for the 21st Century (AT2000) to improve C2 of cargo in-transit anywhere in the DTS. While developing AT2000, USTRANSCOM continues to focus on supply-chain management as part of a revolution in military logistics (RML). The United States Army's Velocity Management and USTRANSCOM's Strategic Distribution Management Initiative (SDMI) are key supply-chain initiatives in RML. Will the objectives of AT2000 improve or hinder these supply-chain initiatives? This question will provide the impetus for this research paper.This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.

Modeling and Analysis of Aerial Port Operations
The focus of this thesis effort is gaining useful insight into aerial port operations by employing an animated simulation. Understanding airfield capacity, resources, and functioning allows greater accuracy and efficiency in both planning for future force structures and matching mobility assets with commanders' objectives. Two current simulations, ACE (Airfield Capacity Estimator) and BRACE (Base Resource Allocation and Capabilities Estimator), model mobility activities at the base level with some deficiencies. The model proposed by this thesis, APOM (Aerial Port Operations Model), will provide the mobility analyst an animated simulation with two, new measures of aerial port operations; a real-time estimate of airfield capacity subject to changing levels of airfield resources, and an instantaneous count of serviced aircraft (service MOG). Additionally, APOM will offer an expanded utility to the mobility analyst by modeling a ground transportation network associated with the aerial port.This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.

The Military Airport Program
Throughout U.S. aviation history, military aviation has shared numerous links to civil aviation. This report summarizes some of that shared history, and briefly describes significant legislation from the early 1900's through modern day issues. Furthermore, it specifically addresses the origin and development of the Military Airport Program, one of five designated set-aside funds under the Airport Improvement Program. Legislatively established in fiscal year 1991, the intent of the program was to take advantage of the numerous existing facilities at military bases identified for realignment or closure under Base Realignment and Closure (BRAC), and to convert them to civil or joint-use fields for minimal cost. As such, these airfields could then relieve more congested metropolitan airfields nearby, reduce projected departure and arrival delays, and significantly contribute to the overall capacity of the United States' air transportation system. Administered by the Federal Aviation Administration, the program was harshly criticized in a General Accounting Office report in 1994. Since then, the FAA has taken numerous steps, acting upon the GAO's recommendations, to clarify and further define eligibility criteria for candidate airfields. This report will detail the GAO's investigation, conclusions, and recommendations, and compare them to the current state of the program. The author will also provide the reader with examples of the conversion process at work by briefly looking at each of the airports currently in the Military Airport Program.This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.

Magnetic Field Aided Indoor Navigation
Many current aiding methods do not work well in an indoor environment, like aiding using the Global Positioning System. The method presented in this research uses magnetic field intensity data from a three-axis magnetometer in order to estimate position using a maximum - likelihood approach. The position measurements are then combined with a motion model using a Kalman filter. The magnetic field navigation algorithm is tested using a combination of simulated and real measurements. The result of these tests show that the position aiding algorithm is capable of generating positon estimates from real data within less than 1 meter of the true trajectory, with most estimates .3 meters away from the true trajectory in a laboratory hallway environment. To further explore the capabilities of the position aiding algorithm, a leader-follower scenario is implemented. In this scenario, the follower uses magnetic field intensity data collected by the leader to estimate its current position and attempt to follow the leader's trajectory. The results show that tracking is possible, and that the measurement span of the leader has a large impact on the result.This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.

Air Mobility Command's En Route Support Infrastructure
The ability of the United States Armed Forces to maintain a global presence and rapidly project military power anywhere in the world are key factors in preserving our freedom. To accomplish the demanding task of global reach support, Air Mobility Command employs an en route support infrastructure. These en route locations provide varying levels of command, control, and communications (C3), logistics support, and aerial port functions. The goal of the en route is to minimize delays for AMC mission aircraft. However, these en route locations comprise a small percentage of the locations that AMC aircraft visit. Given the critical demand for rapid air mobility, potential impact of mission delays or cancellations, and the substantial investment of taxpayer dollars, AMC must provide logistical support to off-station aircraft in the most effective manner possible. This research examined a 5-year historical summary of AMC's logistical support process. The resulting data was used to perform a statistical analysis of AMC off-station aircraft logistic support records for AMC's six primary aircraft fleets (C-5, C-17, C-141, C-130, KC-10, and KC-135). The calculated average not mission capable (NMC) time was used to compare overseas en route and non en route locations to assess AMC's en route infrastructure's effectiveness in reducing mission delays due to aircraft maintenance problems. Effectiveness, in the context of this research, was measured in terms of a lower or shorter average NMC time, equating to reduced mission delays. The initial data analysis on OCONUS en route and non en route locations provided a macro level assessment based on location only. A closer investigation on iv each of the six primary AMC aircraft fleets returned varying results in terms of reduced averaged NMC time.This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.

A Comprehensive Examination of the Civil Reserve Airfleet
The United States of America has entered the twenty-first century fighting a war against terrorism. Terrorists are an enemy that can suddenly appear anywhere in the world with little or no warning, and then quickly disappear into the concealment of society only to wait for another opportunity to strike again. The 2002 National Security Strategy (NSS) of the United States describes terrorism as "different from any other war in our history".1 The NSS goes on to explain that the United States must "continue to transform our military forces to ensure our ability to conduct rapid and precise operations to achieve decisive results".2 Because it is difficult to predict when or where a terrorist attack might occur against the United States, or one of its allies, it is imperative that the United States military have the capability to quickly respond to terrorist attacks anywhere around the globe. The National Defense Strategy of The United States of America emphasizes this point by stating, "a key goal is developing the Capability to surge military forces rapidly from strategic distances to deny adversaries sanctuary".This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.

Evaluating the Correlation Characteristics of Arbitrary AM and FM Radio Signals for the Purpose of Navigation
The Global Positioning System (GPS) provides position estimates on Earth at anytime, anywhere and in any weather. However, GPS requires an unobstructed path to satellite signals. As such, GPS performance generally degrades or becomes non-existent in environments such as large urban areas. This research investigates and analyzes the correlation characteristics of arbitrary AM and FM radio signals for the purpose of navigation. The primary objective of this research is to determine if there is any potential for using AM and FM radio signals in a TDOA-type navigation system. In support of this objective, two correlation receiver methods are considered with a goal of producing autocorrelation peaks between the received signals of the reference and target receivers. With successful results, hopefully future work can be done with these correlation methods and TDOA navigation techniques.

Global En Route Basing Infrastructure Location Model
The backbone of the air transportation system for the US military is the En Route System (ERS), a collection of personnel and equipment at bases throughout the world. The location of these bases in the ERS bears the marks of the Cold War legacy of the latter half of the twentieth century. While many changes to the ERS have taken place in the last 20 years, it still has a predominantly East-West orientation in the Northern Hemisphere with little capability in many parts of the world. This research provides the decision makers (DMs) with a clear methodology for evaluating the best locations for new en route bases in the ERS. It looks at the capability of each en route airfield alternative using 27 different measures. It then examines the National Security Import of the destination regions an en route airfield could service, along with the probability of events in those regions requiring military action, including humanitarian and other missions.This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.

Sea-Air Intermodal Port Pair Selection Criteria in South America
Intermodal operations have been crucial to the success of recent TRANSCOM distribution actions across the globe. Understanding the most appropriate factors to consider in seaport and airfield transloading pairs is critical to efficient and effective use of the intermodal option. TRANSCOM utilizes an analytic heuristic process within an intermodal seaport and airfield suitability model to rank order capability ratings of transloading sites. This research identifies the most important criteria for evaluating intermodal transloading pairs by a thorough review of scholarly literature, multiple runs of the TRANSCOM suitability model, and comparative assessment of various trial results. This analysis was then used to identify the most capable seaport and airfield pairs in South America for military or humanitarian assistance/disaster relief actions supported by intermodal distribution operations. While effective in its current form, the TRANSCOM suitability model may be more informative for planning by incorporating criteria for port pair reliability. The paper proposes that appropriately evaluating accessibility, capability, timeliness, security, and reliability as service characteristics for transport offers the best criteria for evaluating theater intermodal transloading locations. The research also considers factors outside the TRANSCOM model to incorporate the Failed States Index's measure of national stability as a proxy for reliability.This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.

Air Mobility Command's En Route Support Infrastructure
The ability of the United States Armed Forces to maintain a global presence and rapidly project military power anywhere in the world are key factors in preserving our freedom. To accomplish the demanding task of global reach support, Air Mobility Command employs an en route support infrastructure. These en route locations provide varying levels of command, control, and communications (C3), logistics support, and aerial port functions. The goal of the en route is to minimize delays for AMC mission aircraft. However, these en route locations comprise a small percentage of the locations that AMC aircraft visit. Given the critical demand for rapid air mobility, potential impact of mission delays or cancellations, and the substantial investment of taxpayer dollars, AMC must provide logistical support to off-station aircraft in the most effective manner possible. This research examined a 5-year historical summary of AMC's logistical support process. The resulting data was used to perform a statistical analysis of AMC off-station aircraft logistic support records for AMC's six primary aircraft fleets (C-5, C-17, C-141, C-130, KC-10, and KC-135). The calculated average not mission capable (NMC) time was used to compare overseas en route and non en route locations to assess AMC's en route infrastructure's effectiveness in reducing mission delays due to aircraft maintenance problems. Effectiveness, in the context of this research, was measured in terms of a lower or shorter average NMC time, equating to reduced mission delays. The initial data analysis on OCONUS en route and non en route locations provided a macro level assessment based on location only. A closer investigation on iv each of the six primary AMC aircraft fleets returned varying results in terms of reduced averaged NMC time.This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.

An Integrity Framework for Image-Based Navigation Systems
This work first examines fundamental differences between measurement models established for GPS and those of proposed image-based navigation systems. In contrast to single value per satellite GPS pseudorange measurements, image measurements are inherently angle-based and represent pixel coordinate pairs for each mapped target. Thus, in the image-based case, special consideration must be given to the units of the transformations between the states and measurements, and also to the fact that multiple rows of the observation matrix relate to particular error states. An algorithm is developed to instantiate a framework for image-based integrity analogous to that of GPS RAIM. The algorithm is applied cases where the navigation system is estimating position only and then extended to cases where both position and attitude estimation is required. Detailed analysis demonstrates the impact of angular error on a single pixel pair measurement and comparisons from both estimation scenario results show that, from an integrity perspective, there is significant benefit in having known attitude information. Additional work demonstrates the impact of pixel pair measurement relative geometries on system integrity, showing potential improvement in image-based integrity through screening and adding measurements, when available, to the navigation system solution.This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.

Effects Of Contoured Pallets on AMC Mission Efficiency
Research analyzed cargo moved on 747s and MD-11s between Dover AFB and Incirlick AB in FY2009 to determine effects of redistributing cargo from cubes to contoured shapes. The research analyzed pallet build strategies to ensure that MD-11 missions were not cancelled due to lack of available contour-compatible cargo while other, full-cubed cargo was available. Data obtained from Air Mobility Command was used to construct 4 models examining redistribution effects. The data consisted of over 22,000 pallets moved on over 600 missions. The models demonstrated opportunities to restructure cargo exist with the potential to not only avoid future costs due to cancellation fees but also increase system efficiency as a whole.This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.

Inside Stories
In Inside Stories, Hilary Robertson reveals a multitude of ways to curate and arrange those objects and possessions that make up the stuff of life, from treasured artworks and decorative accessories to everyday objects such as hats, baskets and bicycles. In the first chapter, How to Arrange your Stuff, Hilary considers four different approaches to creating arrangements - intuitive, narrative, practical and curatorial--and shows how each one can be achieved. She considers the variety of display locations available within the home--walls, mantelpieces, windowsills, chests of drawers, tabletops--and suggests how to make the most of them with decorative vignettes. Next, in Stories Told by Real Homes, Hilary casts her stylist's eye over interiors that fall into five different styles--Neatnik, Bohemian, Naturalist, Sculpture Vulture, and Noble Salvage. As she reveals, some people are magpies--they love stuff; finding, collecting, and displaying it--while their opposite, the minimalists, are on a mission to contain or tame it. The ideas in this book will appeal to magpies, minimalists, and everyone in between.
