Life from above? An investigation into the genesis and deployment of no-fly zones during the 1990s
This thesis examines how the “no-fly zone” emerged as a distinct and recognisable foreign policy tool in the years immediately following the Gulf War. Based primarily on a close reading of archival sources collected from the George H.W. Bush Presidential Library in College Station, Texas, and the …

Decentralized control for UAV path planning and task allocation
… to move toward enabling Unmanned Air Vehicles to fly in autonomous formations with intelligent mission planning capabilities. In particular, UAVs will be able to autonomously perform path planning and task allocation. During missions, the UAVs must be able to avoid threats and no-fly zones while …

Long-duration proximity operations flexibly optimized for efficient inspection and servicing using free-orbit dynamics
Satellites at geosynchronous orbital altitudes are highly valuable for national defense, but are also difficult to access and monitor. Uncrewed inspection spacecraft could supervise various essential defense platforms and deter covert rendezvous by adversaries with malicious intent. 'Neighborhood …

Human-automation collaborative RRT for UAV mission path planning
… supervise a team of vehicles performing semi-autonomous path planning while avoiding no-fly zones and replanning on the fly. Unfortunately, real time planning and replanning can be a computationally burdensome task, particularly in the high density obstacle environments that are envisioned in …

Robust trajectory planning for unmanned aerial vehicles in uncertain environments
… 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 obstacles and other no-fly zones. Additionally, the UAV must be …

Human-RRT collaboration in Unmanned Aerial Vehicle mission path planning
… when there is a high density of obstacles or no-fly zones. Recently common choices of path finding algorithms have used variations of a randomized algorithm called Rapidly exploring Random Tree (RRT). This randomized sampling algorithm finds fairly short feasible paths, and it finds them …

Simulatore di interfaccia uomo-macchina per i controllo di UAV
… are related to the low level of decisional autonomy of vehicles and to the man machine interface. Therefore, a relevant issue is to design a display/controls architecture which allows the efficient interaction between the operator and the remote vehicle and to develop a level of automation which …

Conventional Precision-Guided Hypersonic Weapons: An Unconventional Threat to Strategic Stability?
… throughout flight, their intended targets cannot be determined with certainty. States could therefore misinterpret the intent of an attack. Of particular concern are attacks against conventional military forces being mistaken for counter-nuclear strikes or decapitating strikes, or an attack …
