UAS Collision Avoidance Algorithm That Minimizes the Impact on Route Surveillance
A collision avoidance algorithm is developed and implemented that is applicable to different types of unmanned aerial systems ranging from a single platform with the ability to perform all collision avoidance functions independently to multiple vehicles performing functions as a cooperative group with collision avoidance commands computed at a ground station. The algorithm draws on the unique benefits of several theoretical approaches to conflict detection and resolution and combines them into one algorithm while addressing the limitations of those individual methods.This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.

Cockpit Automation and Mode Confusion
The application of computer technology in modern cockpits has resulted in sophisticated automation that has created situations of mode confusion where the pilot is uncertain about the status or behavior of cockpit automation. Based on current levels of cockpit automation, classifications of mode confusion, and clinical knowledge concerning human cognitive and attentive processes, could an audible attention step help mitigate unrecognized mode error? The Software-Hardware-Environment-Liveware model forms a framework for the analysis of government and academic research concerning pilot automation experiences and use, cognitive models, information and decision processing, and the auditory attention channel. Pilot experiences and several aircraft accidents suggest that mode error is both common and potentially dangerous enough to warrant attempts at mitigation. Studies indicate that the monitoring requirement levied by automation lowers pilot system situational awareness without providing sufficient or proper feedback. Operators can also suffer from cognitive lockup and task channeling, which makes attention diversion difficult. An auditory input might provide an effective attention step if it demands appropriate attention, provides situation reporting, and offers problem guidance.This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.

Integrating Automated Multi-Disciplinary Optimization in Preliminary Design of Non-Traditional Aircraft
Current methods of aircraft conceptual design lack the ability to quickly generate detailed analysis, particularly of nontraditional designs such as blended wing body craft. This study developed a method to resolve this problem by creating a flexible, parametrically driven conceptual model in an object-oriented, adaptive modeling environment from which analysis and optimization may rapidly be performed. These object-oriented techniques are incorporated into a traditional conceptual design process. All objects inherit dependency-tracking and demand-driven calculations. Design Analysis was performed within the modeling language and utilized interfaces to other software packages. A detailed mesh, suitable for input into finite element analysis programs, was developed from the less detailed, geometric mesh created by the modeling program. The output from finite element analysis forms the basis for rapid changes in subsequent iterations of the design process. The demonstration focuses on a single parametric design model which transforms a conventional transport design into a blended wing body design. This single design is controlled by a limited set of geometric variables and produces optimal structural weight estimations while the designer addresses volumetric and cost requirements.This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.

Intermediate Aircraft Maintenance
Most combat aircraft systems today utilize three levels of repair capability; organizational, intermediate, and depot. This is referred to as three-level maintenance. The relative difficulty of the repair action typically increases from the organizational level through the intermediate and depot levels. Most of the time, "flight line" and minor repair actions are classified as organizational level repairs. These include removing and replacing line replaceable units (LRUs) and accomplishing minor repairs on the aircraft. Intermediate level, or off-equipment maintenance, require special equipment and more personnel proficiency than organizational level repairs. Intermediate level repairs include performing tests on LRUs and accomplishing needed repairs through the removal and replacement of faulty components called shop replaceable units (SRUs). Repair shop technicians conduct fault isolation procedures with test equipment to identify faulty components. If the repair of the LRU is beyond the capability of the intermediate repair shop then the asset is declared to be not repairable this station (NRTS) and is shipped to the Air Logistics Center (depot) for repair. The depot level of maintenance repair typically requires specific industrial capabilities for component overhauls or major modifications.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 Investigation Into Robust Wind Correction Algorithms for Off-the-Shelf Unmanned Aerial Vehicle Autopilots
This research effort focuses on developing methods to design efficient wind correction algorithms to "piggy-back" on current off-the-shelf Unmanned Aerial Vehicle(UAV) autopilots. Autonomous flight is certainly the near future for the aerospaceindustry and there exists great interest in defining a system that can guide and controlsmall aircraft with high levels of accuracy. The primary systems required to command thevehicles are already in place, but with only moderate abilities to adjust for dynamicenvironments (i.e., wind effects), if at all. The goal of this research is to develop asystematic procedure for implementing efficient and robust wind effects corrections toexisting autopilots used on small Unmanned Aerial Vehicles. The research willinvestigate the feasibility of an external dynamic environment control algorithm as ameans of improving current, off-the-shelf autopilot technology relating to small UAVs.The research then presents three main focuses. First, a determination of the estimatedwinds utilizing the existing, on-board sensors. Second, the development of a windcorrection algorithm that incorporates simple mathematical principals to counter the 2-Dimensional wind forces acting on the aircraft; and third, the integration of that windcompensator into the on-board navigational system. This "piggy-back" algorithm mustassimilate smoothly with the current GPS technologies to provide acceptable and safeflight path following. The design procedures developed were demonstrated in simulationand with flight tests on the SIG Rascal 110 UAV. This report builds the framework fromwhich current wind correction research at AFIT and the ANT Center is based.This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.

Can You Create the Universal Pilot for the Universal Aircraft
Traditionally, fighter aircraft training has focused on exploiting the capabilities in the missions each fighter was designed for. Though multi-role aircraft are nothing new, the capabilities designed into the F-35 Lightning II span the largest mission set for a fighter to date. The breadth of mission areas the F-35 has capabilities in threatens to exceed a pilot's ability to maintain expertise in and train to effectively. In the past, the need for specialization in fighter missions occurred due to the limited capabilities of each aircraft. Current multi-role aircraft such as the F-18 and F-16 have exposed the pilot as a potential limiting factor in the number of capabilities in which a fighter squadron can effectively train.This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.

Is It Time for Space Debris Reduction Capabilities?
For over 50 years, space-faring nations have launched objects into space, resulting in the significant accumulation of debris. The amount of launches and debris-causing events outpaces the current removal rates for debris in the protected regions of Low Earth and Geosynchronous Orbits. Thus, it appears the space debris problem is increasing. Currently, debris must be larger than 10-cm in diameter to be tracked reliably. Existing treaties are outdated and in need of revision to include space debris and enforcement. Given the increasing amount of debris in space, it is time to assess whether reduction/removal capabilities are required to resolve the problem.This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.

Manufacturing and Evaluation of a Biologically Inspired Engineered MAV Wing Compared to the Manduca Sexta Wing Under Simulated Flapping Conditions
In recent years, researchers have expressed a vested interest in the concepts surrounding flapping wing micro air vehicles(FWMAVs) that are capable of both range and complex maneuvering. Most research in this arena has found itself concentrated on topics such as flapping dynamics and the associated fluid-structure interactions inherent in the motion, however there still remains myriad questions concerning the structural qualities intrinsic to the wings themselves. Using nature as the template for design, FWMAV wings were constructed using carbon fiber and Kapton and tested under simplifled flapping conditions by analyzing `frozen' digital images of the deformed wing by methods of photogrammetry.This flapping motion was achieved via the design and construction of a flapper that emulates several of the kinematic features that can be seen in naturally occurring flyers. The response to this motion was then compared to the inspiring specimen's wings, the North American Hawkmoth (Manduca Sexta), under the same flapping conditions in order to identify some of the key features that nature has deemed necessary for successful flight.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 a Field Application of In Situ Bioremediation of Perchlorate-Contaminated Groundwater Using Horizontal Flow Treatment Wells
Perchlorate contaminated groundwater is rapidly becoming a significant environmental remediation issue for the Department of Defense. In this study, an existing numerical model that simulates the operation of a Horizontal Flow Treatment Well (HFTW) system to effect the in situ biodegradation of perchlorate through the addition of an electron donor is modified to include a submodel that describes bioclogging. Bioclogging restricts flow out of the HFTW due to the accumulation of biomass directly adjacent to the well. The modified model is then applied to an existing perchlorate contaminated site that will be used for an evaluation of the HFTW technology. Simulations were conducted to determine the impact of altering various engineered parameters on HFTW performance. Simulation results indicate that higher time averaged electron donor concentrations and HFTW pumping rates lead to more perchlorate degradation in terms of total mass of perchlorate removed.This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.
