Abrégé

In a system for establishing connectivity in a HF ALE cellular network, stations are organized to sound each channel, synchronized to every other station in the network. All stations make identical sounding transmissions using a single address, synchronized such that the differential timing within the coverage area remains within the mobile radios' delay spread capability. Synchronized soundings allow the mobile radio to consistently connect to the best available channel. The stations may be synchronized via a central control function. Alternatively, the stations may perform soundings based on a predetermined schedule. Where the propagation time to the mobile radio is known, or determinable within some threshold, the stations may apply a delay to the sounding transmissions to ensure that the sounding transmissions from each of the stations reaches the mobile radio at the same time within some acceptable margin.

Abrégé

An operational planning system and method for optimal assignment of resources to the completion of tasks includes a combination of software modules and customizable plugins. A resource manager assesses known resources to determine which resources are assignable to a set of tasks to be completed, and a task manager determines which tasks are available for completion and prioritizes the valid tasks by resolving task dependencies. Customizable plugins determine cost factors for assigning each valid resource to each valid task, whether valid resources should continue their current task assignments and receive new assignments. Based on the assignment cost data, the customizable plugins ultimately determine an optimal assignment of valid resources to valid tasks (e.g., optimal in the sense of lowest cost and/or other desirable factors).

A remote avionics display device connected to a source graphics generator device receives image data from the source device and presents an avionics display via a touch-sensitive display surface. The avionics display includes a set of display windows, each display window having a size and function defined by window context data. Touch sensors detect user contact points on the display surface. The remote ADD translates the sensed contact points into potential command/control gestures by correlating the contact points with window context data to determine which display window each contact is located and to which gesture each contact or set of contacts corresponds based on the window context data and current touch data structures for the appropriate display window. The remote ADD sends sensed contact points and the corresponding potential gesture data back to the source graphics generator.

Abrégé

A pilot monitoring system receives data of a pilot's pose such as arm/hand positions and eyes to detect their gaze and pupil dynamics, coupled with knowledge about their current task to detect what a pilot is paying attention to, and temporally predict what they may do next. The system may use interactions between the pilot and the instrumentation to estimate a probability distribution of the next intention of the pilot. Such probability distribution may be used subsequently to evaluate the performance or training effectiveness and readiness of the pilot. The system determine data that will be necessary for a later pilot action based on the probability distribution, and compile that data from avionics systems for later display.

Abrégé

An ESA antenna includes a layer of filters between the layer of radiating elements and the ground layer. The filter layer obviates certain post processing steps. The filters define a passband at the operating range of the antenna and a stopband defined to prevent crosstalk or reduce known external interference. Each filter includes alternating cells of a resonator cell formed by two split ring resonators and a resonator cell formed by a complementary split ring resonator and a complementary patch/stub. A particular implementation of the filter defines an operating range around 23 gigahertz with a passband to stopband transition of less than 500 megahertz. Vias may connect the filter layer to a surface component layer with beamforming integrated circuits, bypassing the routing layer.

Abrégé

A node of a multi-node network includes a communications interface incorporating one or more paired antenna elements wherein a transmitter (Tx) element and receiver (Rx) element are oriented in opposing directions. The node discovers and/or links to other nodes of the network by orienting each paired antenna element to transmit to other nodes in one direction and receive in the opposing direction (e.g., through a transmit and receive region, the transmit region opposite the receive region). At subsequent time intervals (e.g., alternating with the first time interval or set thereof), the Tx antenna elements transmit in directions through the initial receive region, each transmit direction interleaved between two prior receive directions, while the Rx antenna elements simultaneously attempt to receive in opposing directions through the initial transmit region, each receive direction interleaved between two prior transmit directions.

Abrégé

The mixer-first topology of receivers do not include low-noise amplifiers (LNA) preceding the mixer. The Mixer-First topology of radio receivers utilizes a direct-conversion quadrature mixer to down convert an RF signal to baseband, where a Hilbert Transform filter is used for sideband selection. When a switching mixer is used, the mixer-first receiver is capable of extremely high dynamic range and linearity. The downfall of the mixer-first topology is poor out-of-band signal rejection. A mixer-first receiver is described which achieves third-harmonic rejection without bandpass filtering proceeding the mixer.

Abrégé

A radar system uses multiple nulls to improve detection capabilities. Multiple radar pulses are transmitted and or received, each with a different null pattern. The returns from each pulse are averaged together to form a null window that is less noisy and potentially wider than a single null pattern. This approach can improve the signal-to-noise ratio and make it easier to detect objects of interest. The system may generate individual pulses from an AESA divided into several subarrays. Each subarray produces a pulse with a null in a different location in the radiation pattern centered about a location of interest. The contemporaneous return signals are averaged together.

Abrégé

A system collects air samples at altitude and shares data among aircraft in a network. The system includes an antenna with an antenna housing; the housing defines air inlets and outlets. While in flight, air samples are collected through the inlets, processed via sensors, and allowed to flow through to the outlet. Air quality data, including, but not limited to, contrail humidity, gas content, and particle density and size, may be transmitted to other aircraft in a network via the antenna. Air quality measurements are geolocated and correlated from different platforms at different altitudes. A data model or machine learning artificial intelligence may utilize the geolocated air quality data to make certain predictions.

Abrégé

A fuel quantity indicator system (FQIS) for an aircraft or other vehicle includes memory/data storage and a fuel quantity processing unit (FQPU). A neural network trained via machine learning and running on the FQPU receives fuel quantity (FQ) inputs from fuel tank sensors, e.g., tank density, fuel volume, water presence within the tank, at or near a given measurement time. The neural network additionally receives fuel flow (FF) inputs from flow sensors at the measurement time, indicating fuel flow to engines and auxiliary power units (APU) of the vehicle. Based on the FQ inputs and the FF inputs, the neural network calculates an estimated fuel quantity (EFQ) remaining, e.g., across all fuel tanks at or near a particular measurement time.

Abrégé

A system and method for monitoring and verification of digital gyroscopic sensors determines a primary angular velocity vector via a primary digital gyroscopic sensor triad and two or more backup angular velocity vectors via backup analog gyroscopic sensor triads. Based on additional aiding parameters, the aircraft attitude and heading reference system (AHRS) determines a primary attitude solution based on the primary angular velocity vector and one or more backup attitude solutions based on the backup angular velocity vectors. If no other faults are present with respect to the primary and backup gyroscopic sensor triads (e.g., the primary and backup triads are otherwise consistent in their measurements), and the primary attitude solution sufficiently deviates from the backup attitude solutions, the AHRS detects a solution fault in the primary gyroscopic sensor triad.

Abrégé

A system and method for removing modulated interference (e.g., FSK, MSK, CW) from an input signal demodulates the input signal into a tracking bitstream via a set of phase locked loop (PLL) filters, one PLL filter for each modulated interference component (e.g., signal) known or suspected to be interfering with the input signal. Each PLL filter estimates, based on an estimated modulation frequency and center frequency associated with its target modulated interference component, a peak magnitude, phase, and updated center frequency and, based on these parameters, approximates the target interference component. Each re-created modulated interference component is subtracted from the original input signal to produce an output signal from which the known or suspected modulated interference components have been substantially removed.

Abrégé

A computer system records eye tracking data and identifies movements in the eye tracking data to determine gaze and pupil dynamics. Eye tracking data is correlated with a current task and predetermined vigilance requirements. The system determines if the user is exhibiting an appropriate level of vigilance based on the task or is becoming fixated. When fixation is detected, the system may engage in remedial action. A task flow diagram represents the operator tasks. Interactions between the user and the instrumentation are used to estimate the probability distribution of the task the user is currently conducting. The system correlates eye tracking data and physiological data such as electroencephalogram (EEG) and functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRs) to determine neuroactivity. Monitoring neuroactivity reduces the probability of a false positive for fixation.

Abrégé

An autonomous agent of a team of autonomous agents (e.g., semi- or fully autonomous vehicles) includes a self-simulator incorporating a faster than real time (FTRT) processing environment for online simulation of each agent of the team. Based on the current mission status and one or more action sets determining the behaviors of the autonomous agents, the behaviors of each agent of the team are projected forward within the FTRT environment to determine mission status metrics relevant to the effectiveness of a particular action set towards optimal completion of mission objectives currently assigned to the team. Based on the mission status metrics, the self-simulator can select and provide an action set for optimized completion of mission objectives. For example, the self-simulator can recommend switching to a different preloaded action set or, in some cases, construct an optimized action set selected from multiple preloaded action sets tested in the FTRT environment.

A preselect value is sent to a primary flight display for confirmation from both pilots (i.e., from the captain and the first officer). The preselect value removes single point failure when updating the barometric altimeter pressure setting in the barometric altimeter from an uplink message from air traffic control. The preselect value is loaded with the barometric altimeter pressure setting from the uplink message. The pilots each swap the preselect value with the active barometric altimeter pressure setting on the primary flight displays. The new active barometric altimeter pressure setting is then pushed to the barometric altimeters both active barometric altimeter pressure settings match.

Abrégé

A system and method for transporting passengers via uncrewed aircraft systems (UAS) receives passenger requests for transport between origin and destination points. Based on the request a transport plan is generated for each passenger, identifying the passenger, assigning a UAS and including a flight plan (which includes flight instructions and a communications plan for the UAS control system). Based on the transport plan one or more encoded flight plan datasets are generated. Each encoded dataset is downloadable to and displayable by the passenger's portable computing device, and scannable and decodable by reader devices at the origin and destination ports and aboard the UAS. Scanning an encoded dataset both grants the passenger access to the origin port and UAS and confirms the passenger's presence. Further, each assigned UAS downloads from the decoded flight plan data the necessary configuration data to fulfill its portion/s of the flight plan.

Abrégé

An aircraft-based system and method for automated reporting and logging of aircraft maintenance events receives flight deck effects (FDEs) with correlated maintenance messages indicating maintenance statuses (e.g., faults and/or failures) and/or Air Transport Association (ATA) classifications for each reporting aircraft system, subsystem or component. The logging system generates event messages based on each received FDE, predicting additional information based on the correlated maintenance message such as recommended maintenance actions, replacement parts or components, and/or Minimum Equipment List (MEL) actions associated with a component fault or failure. Event messages are automatically transmitted via datalink to ground-based maintenance and dispatch. Further, event messages are automatically logged to an aircraft maintenance log.

Abrégé

A radar system including an AESA illuminates a target with a first pulse for a desired beam pointing angle (azimuth and elevation). The AESA then illuminates the target with a second pulse for the desired pointing angle, the second pulse defining a radiation pattern with a main beam in phase with the first pulse, but side lobes that are out of phase. The radar system receives return signals and combines the return signals to null the side lobes by the principle of superposition. The radar processing unit is time synced such that the pulse-pair is interpreted as a single ultra-low level side lobe return radiation pattern.

Abrégé

A motion planning system and method receives requests for routing a set of dissimilar aircraft through a defined airspace. Each aircraft has a starting and destination position relative to the airspace. A start state is based on the earliest start, and a goal state on the destination. The system connects start and goal states via a sequence of next states by projecting each state incrementally forward in time. Candidate next states include all possible next paths to a next position of each aircraft combined with next paths and positions of its neighbors, with unsafe next states culled from the set. Remaining next states are prioritized on the basis of aggregate system cost for all next paths and an estimated system cost to achieve the goal state, and an optimal next state is added to the sequence. When the goal state is achieved, optimal flight plans are generated for each aircraft.
