The signal power measurement at a base station, which sometimes called a power map, is a nonlinear (empirical) function of the position of a mobile. We propose to use the Bayesian bootstrap filtering approach to cope with the nonlinearity, assuming that the mobile is vehicle-mounted so that the movement of the mobile is confined in a road.","PeriodicalId":171131,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the IEEE 2000 National Aerospace and Electronics Conference.

The Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL) continues to develop a software tool to aid NAIC analysts with their assessments, which has grown into the Advanced IRCM Assessment Model (AIRSAM). AIRSAM includes user configurable models for various systems. It also incorporates generic missile infrared (IR) seekers, so that the analyst can set the conditions for flare detection and apply some general techniques for counter-countermeasures. AIRSAM includes a generic missile warning receiver (MWR) that allows analysts to place sensors on the aircraft structure, define the viewing parameters for the sensors, and implement missile detection algorithms. An external flare toolkit allows analysts to design and implement flares into AIRSAM. Current work focuses on developing similar functionality for an airborne laser countermeasure system. This model will be limited to assessments of high energy laser illumination on sensors with the intent of temporarily impairing to permanently damaging them. Four sensor types are being added which are the aircrew eye, forward looking infrared receiver (FLIR), solid state arrays, and reticle systems. The analyst will be able to enter user defined parameters, then define an engagement scenario for these devices and perform simulations to assess how effective the countermeasure system is against the sensor.","PeriodicalId":171131,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the IEEE 2000 National Aerospace and Electronics Conference.

Interoperability and reuse of the underlying data files used to create simulation scenarios are of particular interest to the modeling community. We develop an architecture to support simulation interoperability by combining three key technologies: object-oriented data modeling, an underlying persistence mechanism, and an agent-oriented analysis and design methodology. We use object-oriented modeling techniques to encapsulate and organize the syntactic information contained in scenario database files while we examine the semantic information of these objects for data integration purposes. The agent architecture provides a communication capability to support collaborative development and information brokering. We demonstrate our architecture by means of prototypical applications that implement the foundational information agent layer.","PeriodicalId":171131,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the IEEE 2000 National Aerospace and Electronics Conference.

Today, payload technicians help with the guiding of these operations by informing the payload conductor about the offset distances between the payload trunnions and the cargo bay latch. These crane transfer operations are hazardous and time consuming. A simple, robust, centrally operated portable electronic system is proposed to automatically measure coordinate offsets between the trunnions and their support during payload transfer operations. Furthermore, a system is proposed to enhance the electronic counter by calibrating its measurements due to the system mechanical limitations. The calibrating system suggested in this paper is primarily used during the corrections of the reeling range measurements.","PeriodicalId":171131,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the IEEE 2000 National Aerospace and Electronics Conference.

The device carrier mobility and threshold voltage are modeled as function of temperature. The effects of source, drain, and channel resistances are considered.

The usefulness of these techniques is then illustrated on the task of extracting an object from a color image.
