Determining the Orbit Locations of Turkish Airborne Early Warning and Control Aircraft Over the Turkish Air Space
This research provides optimal orbit locations that can be updated according to the threats, for Turkish AEW and C aircraft in the combat arena. Three combat scenarios Turkey might encounter are examined. Turkey can expect threats from everywhere. The worst cases for these scenarios include bad weather conditions and in Electronic Counter Measure (ECM) environment, adversary Surface to Air Missile (SAM) sites which are located in areas unknown to Turkish intelligence and no Suppression of Enemy Air Defense (SEAD) aircraft which can eliminate the SAM sites using High Speed Anti-Radiation Missiles (HARM). The concern is to cover and detect the threats as far as possible from Turkey without entering the lethal range of adversary SAM sites and airfields. The goal is to help decision makers decide how many AEW aircraft are needed to obtain full coverage.In order to provide optimum results, a Maximal Coverage Location Problem technique is used and the model is coded in MATLAB 2008a.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 Life Cycle Assessment and Economic Analysis of Wind Turbines Using Monte Carlo Simulation
The United States depends heavily on nonrenewable fossil fuels to generate electricity. Using renewable energy sources, such as wind, could reduce air emissions and fossil fuel dependency. Previous studies have examined the life cycle costs and environmental impacts of using wind to generate electricity, but results have varied due to inconsistent modeling assumptions. This research uses Monte Carlo simulation to conduct an economic payback analysis and life cycle assessment of 11 modern, utility-scale wind turbines. Hourly meteorological data was used to evaluate 239 U.S. locations. For each location, the wind turbine with the shortest median payback period was assumed to be the economically preferred turbine model. This simulation demonstrates that variance in the model output is primarily caused by differences in location-specific climate data (wind speed, air density). Depending on the location, the median economic payback periods ranged from 2 to 132 years. 41% of the locations had median payback periods less than 10 years, and 63% less than 15 years. Considering a typical turbine lifespan of 15-30 years, wind turbines are not economically viable at all locations. At locations with favorable wind resources, wind turbines are likely to be superior to electricity production using natural gas or coal. For the preferred wind turbine, the median life cycle energy intensities at all 239 locations ranged from 0.05-0.54 (KWh energy inputs/KWh outputs), compared to 2.3 for natural gas and 2.6-3.5 for coal-fired electricity generation. The median CO2 (eq) intensity values range from 13-156 g-CO2 (eq)/kWh for the preferred wind turbine, compared to 585 g-CO2 (eq)/kWh for natural gas and 757-1042 g-CO2 (eq)/kWh for coal-fired power plants.This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.

Characterization of Functionally Graded Materials
The purpose of this study was to characterize the behavior of a functionally graded material through experimentation and analytical modeling. Functionally graded materials are a ceramic metal composite which transitions from metal on one face to ceramic on the opposite face. Creating reliable models required verifying the material properties. This was accomplished through the use of a static modulus of elasticity test as well as a dynamic ping test. The natural frequencies from the dynamic test were compared with finite element models to determine which material properties most accurately represented the functionally graded material. It was found that the material properties established experimentally by Hill and Lin produced the best models. A fracture surface was examined to determine the failure criteria for the prediction of failure in a cyclic loading scenario. It was determined that the material would fail in a brittle manner and the maximum principle stresses should be used to predict failure.This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.

Space Based Satellite Tracking and Characterization Utilizing Non-Imaging Passive Sensors
A technique is developed to determine the orbit of a sunlight illuminated satellite passing through the field-of-view of a sensor platform in a Highly Elliptical Orbit (HEO) and Geosynchronous orbit (GEO). The technique develops two different methods of initial orbit determination. The first relies on the Gauss initial orbit determination method to develop an estimate of the state from angular data. The second method relies on positional data of the target relative to the Earth's background to determine an estimate of the state. These estimates are then refined in a non-linear least squares routine. This estimate of the state is then used to identify the target from the Air Force Space Command satellite catalog.This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.

Operating at the Convergence of Sea Power and Cyber Power
There is little debate as to the importance of Cyber operations within the US Government. Securing it is another issue beyond awareness. To quote the 2003 "National Strategy to Secure Cyberspace," "Securing cyberspace is an extraordinarily difficult challenge that requires a coordinated and focused effort.." The approach presented within this document represents such an approach - for the US Navy and from within the US Navy. The traditional approach for the Navy C4I systems engineering offices (such as SPAWAR) has been to deliver technologies that will satisfy Navy and Joint warfighter requirements on an ad-hoc basis. While the products such organizations provided were developed more quickly than the typical "big Navy" ship programs, the products were often not able to keep pace with current technology available to users in the private sector, generating user frustration due to poor expectation management.This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.

Automated Civil Engineer Planning and Execution System
Air Force Civil Engineers have long supported the employment of airpower during contingency operations by planning, building, and maintaining platforms to launch and recover aircraft. In the cold war era, these launch platforms were usually collocated operating bases, supported by a robust infrastructure that was well known to CE planners. Unfortunately, drastic changes in our national security environment, and reduced infrastructure overseas, have meant that today's launch platforms are often unfamiliar runways and airstrips scattered throughout the world. CE planners, still tasked to beddown a variety of operational missions, are now faced with a much more difficult challenge. Specifically, they must plan beddowns at more remote locations, with less planning time and less preplanning information. The objective of this study was to find ways to improve the Civil Engineer contingency planning process through the use of automation technology. This study recommends an automation strategy based on a thorough examination of the air base planning process, existing automation initiatives and products, and future automation technologies. To support this research, the team conducted an extensive literature review and made numerous personal contacts with government agencies and commercial enterprises specializing in automation technology. Our research revealed that despite much effort in this area over the past ten years, a single tool to automate planning, execution, sustainment, and recovery of air base operations in a contingency environment does not exist but is readily attainable. This study found there are a variety of government and commercial software products and information databases currently available which can be used to build the foundation of an automated CE beddown planning tool.This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.

Coverage of Continuous Regions in Euclidean Space Using Homogeneous Resources With Application to the Allocation of Phased Array Radar Systems
Air surveillance of United States territory is an essential Department of Defense function. In the event of an incoming aerial attack on North America, the DoD, Department of Homeland Security, and Federal Aviation Administration surveillance capabilities are critical to discovering and tracking the threat so that it can be eliminated. Many of the currently used surveillance radar will reach the end of their design life within ten to twenty years. By replacing the current radar network with a single integrated network of Multifunction Phased Array Radar (MPAR) units, surveillance capabilities can be enhanced and life cycle cost can be reduced. The problem of determining the location of required MPAR units to provide sufficient air surveillance of a given area is a large problem that could require a prohibitively long time to solve. By representing the area of surveillance as a polygon and the MPAR units as guards with a defined circle of detection, this problem as well as similar surveillance or coverage problems can be expressed with easily adjustable parameters. The problem of covering the interior and exterior of a polygon region with a minimal number of guards with homogeneous capabilities is not well researched. There are no methods for determining the minimal number of guards required to cover the interior and exterior of a polygon at a desired coverage level less than 100 percent.This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.

Airlift 2025
The Chief of Staff of the Air Force, General Ronald R. Fogleman, has directed the Air University to conduct a major study on air and space power and concepts applicable to the year 2025 and beyond. This will include examination of innovative systems, new concepts of operations, and the emerging technologies enabling them. The study formally commenced in August 1995 when the students arrived for the Air University 1995-1996 academic year and will conclude in June 1996 with delivery of the final report to the Chief of Staff of the Air Force. The final report will be a logically ordered collection of white papers developed from the innovative concepts and technology abstracts submitted.Power projection is critically dependent on mobility forces. The air mobility system should be capable of supporting national objectives from humanitarian, non-hostile operations through armed conflict. Because of operational constraints that include evolving threats and reduced external infrastructure, the airlift system in the year 2025 should be independent of theater basing structure. International political changes will likely necessitate the basing of most, if not all, US military forces in the continental United States (CONUS). However, this will not end the requirement for a global US presence. Although the probability of direct foreign military threats to our interests may be slight, Air Mobility Command (AMC), the air transportation arm of US Transportation Command, must be prepared to conduct global air mobility on a daily basis. In addition, AMC must continue to support humanitarian and peacekeeping missions in both benign and hostile environments. These expanding requirements demand attention. This paper proposes technologically feasible concepts to meet the air mobility requirements posed by probable US national objectives in the year 2025.This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.
