The Development of a Routine Observational Program with Piloted and Unpiloted Aerospace Vehicles: New Directions for ARM UAV
ثبت نشده
چکیده
The Department of Energy’s (DOE) Atmospheric Radiation Measurement – Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (ARM UAV) Program was originally established to develop measurement techniques and instruments suitable for use with a new class of high altitude, long endurance UAVs, and to demonstrate these instruments and measurement techniques in a series of field campaigns designed to support the climate change community with valuable data sets.

Developing a Remote Sensor Deployment Testbed
We propose the design and construction of a suite of instrument modules to create a testbed for the deployment of remote sensors. Parameters of the testbed include size, weight and power constraints suitable for small scale aerospace vehicles, anticipating vigorous growth in Unpiloted Aerial Vehicle (UAV) deployment, but the testbed design will allow for deployment on other vehicles including; ...
متن کاملLow Cost UAV-based Remote Sensing for Autonomous Wildlife Monitoring
In recent years, developments in unmanned aerial vehicles, lightweight on-board computers, and low-cost thermal imaging sensors offer a new opportunity for wildlife monitoring. In contrast with traditional methods now surveying endangered species to obtain population and location has become more cost-effective and least time-consuming. In this paper, a low-cost UAV-based remote sensing platform...
متن کاملTrim and Maneuverability Analysis Using a New Constrained PSO Approach of a UAV
Performance characteristic of an Unmanned Air Vehicle (UAV) is investigated using a newly developed heuristic approach. Almost all flight phases of any air vehicle can be categorized into trim and maneuvering flights. In this paper, a new envelope called trim-ability envelope, is introduced and sketched within the conventional flight envelope for a small UAV. Optimal maneuverability of the inte...
متن کاملA New Vision-Based and GPS-Signal-Independent Approach in Jamming Detection and UAV Absolute Positioning Assessment
The Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAV) positioning in the outdoor environment is usually done by the Global Positioning System (GPS). Due to the low power of the GPS signal at the earth surface, its performance disrupted in the contaminated environments with the jamming attacks. The UAV positioning and its accuracy using GPS will be degraded in the jamming attacks. A positioning error about tens of...
متن کاملDecentralized Search by Unmanned Air Vehicles Using Local Communication
We present a model consisting of an emergent procedure for n unpiloted, autonomous flying munitions to cooperatively conduct a parallel sweeping search of a geographic area for specific targets. The control of the unmanned air vehicles (UAVs) is decentralized and follows the reactive, behavior-based design philosophy. Global communication is not available to the UAVs; rather, they rely on passi...
