Acoustic Facilities for Human Factors Research At NASA Langley Research Center: Description and Operational Capabilities

Research in Progress AI Research at NASA Langley Research Center

The Flight Management Branch in the Flight Control Systems Division of Langley Research Center is exploring the use of AI concepts to aid flight crews in managing aircraft systems. Areas of AI that are of particular interest are expert systems, knowledge representation, and qualitative reasoning. This research effort, called Intelligent Cockpit Aids [ICA], consists of two distinct but related a...

Infrared detector activities at NASA Langley Research Center

Infrared detector development and characterization at NASA Langley Research Center will be reviewed. These detectors were intended for ground, airborne, and space borne remote sensing applications. Discussion will be focused on recently developed single-element infrared detector and future development of near-infrared focal plane arrays (FPA). The FPA will be applied to next generation space-ba...
