This paper assesses the feasibility of organizing unmanned aviation as free flight. We do this by estimating the frequency of occurrence of large de-confliction problems. Statistics of these frequencies are measures of air traffic complexity appropriate for unmanned air traffic management. These complexity measures increase with air traffic density. Data suggests as many as 100,000 unmanned fli...

Some industry and policy actors are concerned about public opposition to civil drones, in particular because of their association with military drones. However, very little is understood about public reactions to the technology. Strategies to 'manage public acceptance' have so far relied upon several untested assumptions. We conducted public engagement activities to explore citizens' visions of...

This paper investigates the air–ground cooperative time-varying formation-tracking control problem of a heterogeneous cluster system composed an unmanned ground vehicle (UGV) and aerial (UAV). Initially, structure UAV–UGV formation-control is analyzed from perspective combat system. Next, based on motion relationship between in relative coordinate system, model them established, which can clear...

In the coordinated collective behaviors of biological swarms and flocks, the attractive/repulsive (A/R) functional link between each pair of particles plays an important role. By changing the slope of the A/R function, a dramatic transition between different aggregation patterns surfaces. With a high value of the slope, the particle aggregation shows a liquid-like pattern in which the outer par...

Yukawa-like R-parity violating (RPV) couplings are generated as effective operators with a typical strength of O(10 −3) through loops involving the scalars, the gauginos and the soft supersymmetry breaking RPV interactions. Neu-trino masses and other phenomenological implications of such a scenario are discussed.
