Real-time maneuvering decisions for autonomous air combat
Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS) have the potential to perform many of the complex and possibly dangerous missions currently flown by manned aircraft. Within visual range air combat is an extremely difficult and dynamic aerial task which presents many challenges for an autonomous UAS. An agile, …

The Effects of Remotely Piloted Aircraft Command and Control Latency during Within-Visual-Range Air-To-Air Combat
… military missions conducted by remotely piloted aircraft continues to expand into all facets of operations including air-to-air combat. While future within-visual-range air-to-air combat will be piloted by artificial intelligence, remotely piloted aircraft will likely first see combat. The …

Flying knights or Flying scientists? a cognitive history of the US Air Force Fighter Pilot in air-to-air combat, 1950-1980
US Air Force fighter aircraft underwent a remarkable transformation in the period from 1950 to 1980. Whereas the lone fighter pilots of earlier fame relied on the power of their eyesight, the finesse of their piloting skills, and a steady squeeze of the trigger to achieve victory, later pilots …

Collocation With Nonlinear Programming for Two-Sided Flight Path Optimization
… complicated pursuit-evasion problem; optimal air combat for realistic fighter aircraft models in three dimensions. Characteristics of the optimal air combat maneuvers for both aircraft are identified for many different initial conditions.

Trajectory optimization with detection avoidance for visually identifying an aircraft
… will perform a broader range of missions such as air-to-air combat. The focus of this thesis is forming trajectories for the closing phase of an air-to-air combat scenario. A UAV should close with the suspected aircraft in a manner that allows a ground operator to visually identify the suspected …

Effects of a combined 3-D auditory/visual cueing system and non-distributed flight reference on visual target detection using a helmet-mounted display
An air-combat pilot must both control the aircraft and locate targets. The objective of this study was to determine combined effects of using the Non-Distributed Flight Reference and 3-D audio/visual cueing system for the purpose of easing pilot control and aiding target location. The …

Toll road public-private partnerships in Malaysia : using the CLIOS process for policy improvements
… have used it for energy distribution, air combat command and control, and regional strategic transportation planning (RSTP). This last application provides a useful base for improving a toll road program but RSTP still requires significant adjustment before it can be applied to toll …

Combat stress reaction and morale in RFC/RAF aircrew 1914-1918
There are many studies of the air campaigns of the first World War: almost all have concentrated on the strategic and tactical issues, on the technical development of aircraft or the skill and daring of the aircrew concerned. The effects of the dangers of flying and air combat, which tested aircrew …

Exploring 3D User Interface Technologies for Improving the Gaming Experience
… Based on these findings, we custom designed an air-combat game prototype which simultaneously uses stereoscopic 3D, head tracking, and finger-count shortcuts to prove that these technologies could be useful for games if the game is designed with these technologies in mind. Additionally, to …
