This procedure directly incorporates desired low-order equivalent system (LOES) frequency and damping parameter values into the synthesis of control laws that provide optimal adherence to MIL-STD-1797A guidelines. The procedure is used to derive a longitudinal control law for a contemporary fighter aircraft. Simulation results are presented. It is believed that this approach offers improved flying qualities and may be suitable for mitigation of pilot induced oscillation problems because its closed-loop phase lag is essentially that of the LOES specification.","PeriodicalId":171918,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the IEEE 1995 National Aerospace and Electronics Conference.

This effort has resulted in numerous successes, especially in the development of new NLO crystals for use in laser sources. These crystals significantly enhance laser performance by making possible wavelength shifting and tunability and higher power. Technical progress has been made in developing several crystals which together cover the spectral range from middle ultraviolet to the far infrared. One crystal in particular, zinc germanium phosphide, has already demonstrated average power of 3.5 watts tunable over much of the mid-infrared atmospheric window. Significant improvements have also been made with extending the transparency range and laser-damage resistance of the KTP family of compounds.","PeriodicalId":171918,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the IEEE 1995 National Aerospace and Electronics Conference.

Range resolution is the ability to distinguish between two or more closely spaced objects. The resolving ability of a pulsed ladar system is related to the effective correlation bandwidth of the pulse. Phase modulation of an outgoing pulse increases the effective correlation bandwidth of the pulse and enhances range resolution. Using a coherent, pulsed ladar system a pulse would be emitted from the system and the return signal detected. The return pulse is optically heterodyned and recorded. The recorded echo is then matched filtered to obtain an estimate of range. The estimate will be shown to have increased resolution with modulation.","PeriodicalId":171918,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the IEEE 1995 National Aerospace and Electronics Conference.

Echoes from high frequency (5-10 MHz) sound waves vary with subsurface flaws and delaminations. To improve detection of internal defects in composite materials, a linear Bayes classification is applied to the wavelet transform coefficients of ultrasound scan lines. Using a Daubechies basis, wavelet transforms are taken of the ultrasound signals. A subset of the coefficients is then used as features for the classifier. A forward sequential feature selection (FSFS) algorithm was used to determine the optimal features. The training set was comprised of scanned signals from both damaged and undamaged samples. Performance statistics for classification of damaged materials were calculated using a separate set of test samples. Application of a shift-invariant wavelet transform removed some of the variability of the wavelet coefficients and improved the classification.","PeriodicalId":171918,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the IEEE 1995 National Aerospace and Electronics Conference.

The fractal information of radar targets may provide a new way to enhance the performance of conventional detection methods. A new approach to detect ship targets from sea clutter has been developed. The approach is based on the use of the fractal signature difference between the ship target and sea clutter, which is manifested in the backscattered radar signal from different objects. The fractal signatures are estimated by using the box counting method. In the case of a small number of sampling points, the computation of the fractal dimensions is considered.","PeriodicalId":171918,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the IEEE 1995 National Aerospace and Electronics Conference.

For different type of scattering center, different matching weight vectors of transmitting and receiving are used to process the PSM data of range profiles. Finally, power or amplitude output matched to different type of scattering center is obtained and used to identify target by means of the information about the kind of scattering centers the target is constructed. The method is more effective than those which use features obtained from only one polarization channel.","PeriodicalId":171918,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the IEEE 1995 National Aerospace and Electronics Conference.
