Near-space-gliding vehicles have variable maneuver modes and dramatic changes in their ballistic parameters, which lead to a need accurately predict an intercept point based on predictions of trajectories. First, trajectory prediction method builds set time-varying models flight missions combined with adaptive grid infer modes. An interactive multiple-model structure is proposed identify the ch...

For a homing interceptor, suitable initial condition must be achieved by mid course guidance scheme for its maximum effectiveness. To achieve desired end goal of any mid course guidance scheme, two point boundary value problem must be solved online with all realistic constrain. A Newly developed computationally efficient technique named as MPSP (Model Predictive Static Programming) is utilized ...

This paper presents results that demonstrate the auroral modeling capabilities of the Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL) SAMM2 (SHARC And MODTRAN Merged 2) radiance code. A scene generation capability is obtained by coupling SAMM2 with a recently developed Clutter Region Atmosphere and Scene Module (CRASMO), which provides an approach for rapid generation of time sequences and images of radia...

A novel real-time final product quality control method for batch operations based on stacked leastsquares support vector regression models (stacked LSSVR) is proposed. It combines midcourse correction (MCC) and batch-to-batch control. To enhance the model prediction accuracy and generalization capability, a stacked LSSVR approach is presented. Quality control is achieved by predicting the final...

This paper extends previous research showing that experienced difficulty of recall can influence evaluative judgments (e.g., Winkielman & Schwarz, 2001) to a field study of university students rating a course. Students completed a midcourse evaluation form in which they were asked to list either 2 ways in which the course could be improved (a relatively easy task) or 10 ways in which the course...

In plants, the development of the epidermis, and the specialized stomatal lineage within it, exemplifies an old developmental problem that is newly relevant in this current era of stem cell biology: How can a tissue maintain flexibility and change its development midcourse yet still reliably generate differentiated and patterned cells? In this perspective, we endeavor to create a conceptual fra...
