As part of the Department of Defenses exploration into alternative energy solutions, this research focused on developing and implementing a control strategy for a microgrid system that was developed using a multi-physics energy approach. The objective was to demonstrate a microgrid system that more effectively uses renewable energy based on the end-use application of energy. The NPS Integrated Multi-Physics Renewable Energy Laboratory microgrid system was designed primarily for heating and...

Satellite collocation is not a new topic in the space community. The geostationary belt is considered a natural resource, and as time goes by, the physical spaces for geostationary satellites will run out. The Brazilian Air Force plans to collocate its satellite with another two satellites, and this thesis seeks the most efficient method in terms of fuel optimization and operational aspects. A Systems Tool Kit (STK) software simulation was developed that included various longitude collocation...

This paper highlights the technology development of two flow control concepts for aircraft drag reduction. The NASA Environmentally Responsible Aviation (ERA) project worked with Boeing to demonstrate these two concepts on a specially outfitted Boeing 757 ecoDemonstrator during the spring of 2015. The first flow control concept used Active Flow Control (AFC) to delay flow separation on a highly deflected rudder and increase the side force that it generates. This may enable a smaller vertical...

The US Army Research Laboratory investigated the conditions and the materiel required to fire large numbers of RP-80 detonators simultaneously using the FS-43 firing system. The results of the investigation demonstrated an in-house capability for initiating 36 detonators within a 5- s simultaneity interval.

Bill and Corey take a trip to an amusement park as they go against "Nightmare in Silver". The guys talk about the latest Cybermen adventure and see if Neil Gaiman wrote a classic or a clunker. The guys also talk about some of the latest news including the prequel for the series finale, plus why some American fans lucked out this past weekend.

A device is provided with integrated hardware and software components for measuring and monitoring abnormalities on animal and human tissue and other surfaces. The device includes a display panel and a control panel secured to the upper surface of a housing and a plurality of sensor arrays attached to the lower surface on two scanner belts. A processor receives input from the sensor arrays to create data objects which are stored in an image object database. A retrieval component retrieves the...

In April 2011, NASAs pioneering cloud profiling radar satellite, CloudSat, experienced a battery anomaly that placed it into emergency mode and rendered it operations incapable. All initial attempts to recover the spacecraft failed as the resultant power limitations could not support even the lowest power mode. Originally part of a six-satellite constellation known as the A-Train, CloudSat was unable to stay within its assigned control box, posing a threat to other A-Train satellites. CloudSat...

The use of Extremely Agile Micro Aerial Vehicles (EA-MAVs) drives the need for a small and light controller which will not hinder a soldier carrying it. This requirement brings an issue of designing an effective operator interface coupled with the controller. Little human factors work has been done on what the most effective method is for controlling EA-MAVs using a handheld device. To investigate design methods for the development of an interface which must be intuitive in function and easy to...

Symbology to represent fixed-wing and rotary-wing Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) was developed and compared to MIL-STD-1787C symbology. The symbology was evaluated in several simulated UAV operator tasks. In the first portion of the study, static screen-shots from a simulated UAV control station display screen were presented to participants. Participants were required to determine how many air vehicle symbols of a particular type or affiliation were present in the screen-shot. The results...

Four blast tests were performed on 30-ft (9.1 m) tall precast, prestressed concrete wall panels. Two conventional sandwich panels and a control panel were examined and shown to perform adequately under the blast demands. An approximate dynamic analysis technique for finding the blast resistance of the wall panels was developed and validated using the experimental results. For the wall panels in this study, it was found that an undamped analytical model provided reasonable peak displacement...

This thesis introduces a method of three-axis spacecraft attitude control using only aerodynamic torques. Attitude actuation is achieved using four control panels mounted on the rear of a cubical spacecraft bus. The controller consists of an outer loop using linear state feedback to determine desired control torque and an inner loop to choose appropriate control panel angles. The inner loop uses a Jacobian-based approach to invert the nonlinear relationship between panel angles and generated...

A pilot's ability to perform arm reach in the cockpit can be compromised by high-sustained acceleration (G). This research provides performance test data on reach to aircraft controls under several levels of sustained acceleration, especially negative G. Currently, Government requirements documents and aircraft manufacturers use locked harnesses at 1 G to simulate reach to controls at > 1 G. This research was conducted to determine the effects of reduced reach capability on pilot...

Department of Defense is required to provide MIDS terminals for subsurface, surface and airborne weapon systems. The MIDS terminals use legacy software that does not have the flexibility to support multiple platform interfaces. With evolving interface requirements, there is a need to accommodate more platforms that require a new interface design software approach. This thesis proposes a new software interface design approach to effectively support the emergent need of various platforms to...

Crew workload was assessed during the RAH-66 Comanche Force Development Experiment (FDE) 1. The purpose was to determine if: (a) the pilots experienced tolerable and comparable workload levels when flying the aircraft versus operating the mission equipment package (MEP), and (b) workload levels contribute to a need to 'battle roster' Comanche pilots. Workload data were collected via the Bedford Workload Rating Scale and a cockpit controls and displays usability questionnaire. Results of the...

The GKMP has two major security related problems, (a) lack of any mechanism to remove a compromised group administrator, (b) lack of scalability. We are able to remove a compromised single panel member from generating the group keys by setting the panel members with shared authority to generate the group keys. We then introduce the...

During the control of boxes with cartridge bags complaints of headache were reported. In the atmosphere in the boxes concentrations of carbon monoxide of more than 1500 ppm were measured. These values are far above the TWA-value of 150 ppm for a 15 min exposure. After opening the boxes a dilution will take place. However, it is unknown how long the personnel is exposed to substantial carbon monoxide concentrations. The boxes should only be opened with sufficient ventilation. In the gas phase...

Although formal methods for developing computer systems have been available for more than a decade, few have had significant impact in practice. A major barrier to their use is that developers find formal methods difficult to understand and apply. One exception is a formal method called SCR for specifying computer system requirements which, due to its easy-to-use tabular notation and demonstrated scalability, has achieved some success in industry. To demonstrate and evaluate the SCR method and...

A general purpose analysis code has been developed to simulate variably saturated groundwater flow in a porous media. The code is called GROWFLOW and is based on the SPH analysis method. An improved SPH method called 'Gradient SPH' was developed for this effort. Simulation around boundaries and discontinuities is dramatically improved with this new method. Gradient SPH is a Lagrangian method. The governing partial differential equations were cast in a Lagrangian frame of reference for this...

Interfaces to military Virtual Reality (VR) systems, such as NPSNET IV.9, have been limited mainly to keyboard, mouse, and joystick devices. This presents two major problems; remembering how to access all the functionality of the system, and using the interface when the user is otherwise physically constrained. This can occur during the use of body-position tracking devices and Heads-Up-Displays (HUD). Voice recognition and Natural Language Processing (NLP) were used as a solution to both...
