Error analysis of sensor measurements in a small UAVAckerman, James S. 09 1900 (has links)
This thesis focuses on evaluating the measurement errors in the gimbal system of the SUAV autonomous aircraft developed at NPS. These measurements are used by the vision based target position estimation system developed at NPS. Analysis of the errors inherent in these measurements will help direct future investment in better sensors to improve the estimation system's performance.

The Effect of Stress on Task Capacity and Situational AwarenessKarim, Reza Ul January 2012 (has links)
In today’s industry, many occupations require manpower resources to include both labor and cognitive resources. As the technology is rapidly changing and businesses are becoming more dependent on cognitive performance, it is essential to find any effect physical stress might have on task performance. Situational awareness is also becoming an integral part of human task performance. It is critical for many operations to design systems such that the effects of physical stress, however minute, on task performance and situational awareness are considered.
The test methodology developed here measures the effect of stress on cognitive task performance as a result of situational awareness related to the task. The test measured and compared task capacity among different age groups and different working groups. A comparison was made on task performance based on the effects of low level physical stress and lack of it. Response time and accuracy were measured for statistical analysis. The subject’s stress levels were measured before starting the test to create a baseline for the candidates stress level. The developed tool was able to detect the effect of stress on task performance successfully and efficiently. Subjects with previous work experience performed better both in Phase I and Phase II of the experiment as compared to subjects with no previous work experience. The analysis indicates low level stress does have significant effects on task performance. In reality, stress is an unavoidable factor in daily activities. When designing any system that requires cognitive tasks, stress needs to be considered as a contributing factor to the variability of operation.

Comparison of "functional concept of battlespace awareness" versus the concept of "power to the edge," with a focus on integrating shotspotter sensors and unmanned aerial vehiclesMatthew G. Thompson., Elliott, Derek J. 09 1900 (has links)
Current military doctrine is primarily hierarchical in nature with respect to power and authority. The "Functional Concept of Battlespace Awareness" (FCBA) is a military sensor methodology that employs a hierarchical command structure to test emerging technologies. Asymmetric warfare, however, demands a faster and more adaptive warfighting mentality that distributes power and responsibility across more of our forces; particularly those that are at the frontlines of the battlefield. "Power to the Edge" is a warfighting methodology that emphasizes a departure from traditional military hierarchies and a transition into a configuration that empowers "Edge" actors with information and authority. This thesis will prove that "Power to the Edge" doctrine is a more effective way to fight the enemies we will likely face in the Information Age. By analyzing and interpreting data collected at the Extended Awareness II and Extended Awareness IIB experiments, this thesis will show that transition in our current command and control methodology will be necessary to keep up with a changing enemy.

OLSR-based network discovery in situational awareness system for tactical MANETsIslam, Z.M. Faizul 01 January 2012 (has links)
In this thesis, we propose a high level design for connectivity visualization of OLSRbased
MANET topology based on local topology databases available in an OLSR node.
Two different scenarios are considered: a central (full view) topology from a command
and control location, or a nodal (partial) view from an ad-hoc node. A simulation-based
analysis is conducted to calculate total number of active links at a particular time in full
and nodal topology views. Also the error rate of network topology discovery based on
total undiscovered link both mobile and static scenario is considered and reported. We
also come up with an analytical model to analyse the network bandwidth and overhead of
using TC, HELLO and custom NIM message to evaluate the performance of centralized
visualization to build full map of the network with respect to situational awareness
system. This thesis also presents a multi-node, 2-dimensional, distributed technique for
coarse (approximate) localization of the nodes in a tactical mobile ad hoc network. The
objective of this work is to provide coarse localization information based on layer-3
connectivity information and a few anchor nodes or landmarks, and without using
traditional methods such as signal strength, Time of Arrival (ToA) or distance
information. We propose a localization algorithm based on a Force-directed method that
will allow us to estimate the approximate location of each node based on network
topology information from a local OLSR database. We assume the majority of nodes are
not equipped with GPS and thus do not have their exact location information. In our
proposed approach we make use of the possible existence of known landmarks as
reference points to enhance the accuracy of localization. / UOIT

Mobility modeling and topology prediction in cognitive mobile networksAlshehri, Abdullah 01 July 2012 (has links)
The purpose of this thesis is to analyze a non-intrusive connectivity visualization method for
OLSR-based MANET topology in different mobility models. The visualization relies on the local
topology databases (neighborhood database and topology database) available in OLSR nodes in
the network. Two different views are considered in this method: central view and nodal view. In
the central view, the network topology is viewed from a control center which has access to the
databases of all nodes, while on the other hand, the nodal visualization provides a picture of the
network topology from individual nodes point of view. In this thesis, the full view of the network
has been compared to the nodal view to calculate the error rate for topology discovery, based on
the total numbers of active and undiscovered links.
The main contribution of this thesis is to analyze and improve the accuracy of coarse localization
techniques under different mobility models, using the Force-directed algorithm to calculate the
approximate location of the nodes. The localization information was gathered from layer-3
connectivity, utilizing anchor nodes that are equipped with GPS and other non-GPS nodes instead
of using traditional methods that include received signal strength, time of arrival and angle of
arrival. The approximate location information of the nodes derived from this technique has been
compared with original node location in order to determine the accuracy of this technique. To
improve the accuracy, several mobility prediction filters such as moving average filter, Kalman
filter and low pass filter have been applied to the approximate location data. The simulation is
done to calculate the error between the original location data and the coarse approximations, and
the results shows that Moving Average provides the best results. / UOIT
