Mission Planning and Instrument Design for Stellar Occultation Measurements of Lower Thermospheric Nitric Oxide in the Polar Night
… tool in MATLAB, the Stellar Occultation Mission Planner. The results of this analysis were used to model the instrument performance and identify the required narrowband filter parameters to meet science requirements. Additional studies were performed to explore system performance for a …

UAV mission planning under uncertainty
… that directs UAVs to targets and coordinates missions in a manner that provides an efficient allocation of resources. Additionally, a mission planner should account for the uncertainty inherent in the operations. Uncertainty, or stochasticity, manifests itself in most operations known to man. …

Development of Real Time Self Driving Software for Wheeled Robot with UI based Navigation
… motion planning update. The system replaces the mission planner with a user interface(UI) onto which the User provides local navigation inputs, thus eliminating the need for maintenance of a Global frame. The User Input is considered in the decision framework of the behavioral planner, which …

System level dispersion analysis examining program benefits to a low-thrust interplanetary CubeSat from autonomous guidance and navigation
… deep space programs because higher priority missions will take precedence for access to the limited and expensive DSN resource. Consequently, to make the most of CubeSats in deep space, dependence on the ground must be minimized. In this research a closed-loop Linear Covariance (LinCov) …

Robust trajectory planning for unmanned aerial vehicles in uncertain environments
… (UAVs) take on more prominent roles in aerial missions, it becomes necessary to increase the level of autonomy available to them within the mission planner. In order to complete realistic mission scenarios, the UAV must be capable of operating within a complex environment, which may include …

Neutron production in a spherical phantom aboard the international space station
… has confirmed that prolonged duration space missions are now becoming standard practice and as such, the need to better understand the potential risk of space radiation to Astronaut’s health, has become a priority for long mission planner. The complex internal radiation environment created …

Automated Design of Multiphase Space Missions Using Hybrid Optimal Control
A modern space mission is assembled from multiple phases or events such as impulsive maneuvers, coast arcs, thrust arcs and planetary flybys. Traditionally, a mission planner would resort to intuition and experience to develop a sequence of events for the multiphase mission and to find the space …

Decentralized planning for autonomous agents cooperating in complex missions
… for autonomous agents performing complex missions. These types of missions often involve a set of tasks, each representing a component of the mission. Task planning algorithms may be used as part of the mission planner to assign agents to tasks; however, the decentralized task assignment …

Implementation of a Trusted I/O Processor on a Nascent SoC-FPGA Based Flight Controller for Unmanned Aerial Systems
Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS) are aircraft without a human pilot on board. They are comprised of a ground-based autonomous or human operated control system, an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) and a communication, command and control (C3) link between the two systems. UAS are widely used in military …
