The CORBA Event Service provides a flexible model for asynchronous communication among objects.However, the standard CORBA Event Service specification lacks important features required by realtime applications. For instance, operational flight programs for fighter aircraft have complex real-time processing requirements. This paper describes the design and performance of an object-oriented, real...

We present a solution to the three-dimensional attitude and velocity control problem for an autopilot based on backstepping control of the full six-degrees-of-freedom equations of motion. The resulting controller has a very simple structure and requires only a limited amount of a priori information about the aerodynamic properties of the aircraft. It has global stabilizing properties in attitud...

Symbolic algebraic analysis techniques are applied to the landing gear subsystem in the new Swedish ghter aircraft, JAS 39 Gripen. Our methods are based on polyno-mials over nite elds (with Boolean algebra and propositional logic as special cases). Polynomials are used to represent the basic dynamic equations for the processes (controller and plant) as well as static properties of these. Tempor...

Baykar Bayraktar TB2 (Tactical Block 2) is a domestically armed unmanned aerial vehicle produced by Turkey-based Defense. It accepted in the middle class with its dimensions and amount of useful load it can carry. Medium UAV an classification for UAV’s that are too heavy to be carried one person but still smaller than light aircraft. There also medium-sized rotary base. Unmanned combat (UCAV), ...
