This paper presents the concept of unmanned vehicle situation awareness and provides a discussion of how unmanned vehicle situation awareness can be defined based upon human situation awareness. A broadly accepted human situation awareness definition is directly applied to the notion of unmanned vehicle situation awareness. The paper also discusses unique unmanned vehicle aspects that will infl...

Abstract The US Army war crimes trials held in Manila from 1945 to 1947 prosecuted around 200 Japanese military personnel for committed against prisoners of and Filipino non-combatants. defendants attempted argue, with little success, that the defence superior orders justified their actions. General Douglas MacArthur (Supreme Commander Allies Pacific or SCAP) was adamant would not serve excuse ...

In this paper, we present a Fingerprint Linear Estimation Routine (FLiER) to identify topology changes in power networks using readings from sparsely-deployed phasor measurement units (PMUs). When a power line, load, or generator trips in a network, or when a substation is reconfigured, the event leaves a unique “voltage fingerprint” of bus voltage changes that we can identify using only the po...

Dr. Jeffrey Flier delivered the 25th memorial Lee E. Farr Lecture on May 8, 2012, at the culmination of the annual Student Research Day at the Yale School of Medicine, during which 92 students presented their research as posters and five were honored for their outstanding student theses. YJBM traditionally publishes the abstracts of outstanding student theses, and those of the recent years 2009...

The errors inherent to the use of the standard " ionization correction factor " (" i CF ") method of calculating nebular conditions and relative and Ar in emission line nebulae have been investigated under conditions typical for planetary nebulae. The photoionization code Cloudy was used to construct a series of model nebulae with properties spanning the range typical of PNe. Its radial " profi...

This paper deals with the leader-follower formation control problem while communication constraint in data transmitting is considered. From a practical point of view, we study the case in which unmanned vehicles are subject to the limited sensing, and communication is of a particular interest. A three-dimensional formation flight of multi-unmanned aerial vehicles with leader-follower configurat...

Unmanned systems are designed to reduce risk and magnify the impact of manned forces. Expanding unmanned involvement in military operations will require greater vehicle autonomy and the adoption of new concepts of operations. This paper discusses the technical challenges of unmanned systems in support of dismounted operations and research efforts by Defence R&D Canada to support unmanned vehicl...
