Theoretical determination of air operations and anti-air operations

Air Transportation : Irregular Operations and Control

Graceful Degradation of Air Traffic Operations

The introduction of new technologies and concepts of operation in the air transportation system is not possible, unless they can be proven not to adversely affect the system operation under not only nominal, but also degraded conditions. In extreme scenarios, degraded operations due to partial or complete technological failures should never endanger system safety. Many past system evolutions, w...

Iris Operations Studies SIRIO-Study for the Satellite Air Ground Interface with Reliable and Interoperable Operations

SIRIO is one of the three Operations Studies included in the framework of the ESA Iris Programme, which aims to design and develop a new Satellite Communication system for Air Traffic Management. SIRIO focus is on the definition of a Service Model and Business Model for the provision of ATS and AOC communication services via satellite. The definition activity is based on the analysis of the ATM...

Auditing and Assessing Air Quality in Concentrated Feeding Operations

The potential adverse effects of concentrated animal feeding operations (CAFO) on the environment are a growing concern. The air quality issues of most concern to CAFO vary but generally include ammonia, hydrogen sulfide, particulate matter, volatile organic compounds, greenhouse gases, and odors. Air pollutants may be regulated by federal and state laws or by nuisance complaints. The United St...

Air Pollution and Odor in Communities Near Industrial Swine Operations

BACKGROUND Odors can affect health and quality of life. Industrialized animal agriculture creates odorant compounds that are components of a mixture of agents that could trigger symptoms reported by neighbors of livestock operations. OBJECTIVE We quantified swine odor episodes reported by neighbors and the relationships of these episodes with environmental measurements. METHODS Between Sept...
