The paperuses simplified equations describing the dynamics of the quadcopter to facilitate the modelling ofthe simulation structure. The software implementation of the quadcopter model together with thecontroller is the basis for the operation of the anti-collision algorithm. The model control system usesa three-stage proportional-integral-differential controller. The inspiration of the resulting program ismagnetic interaction. The obstacle avoidance algorithm is based on the measurement of angular valuesand the selection of a proportional virtual force. The force repelling a quadcopter from an obstacle isa parameter that depends on its linear velocity, bearing on the obstacle and distance to the obstacle.The heat maps obtained reflect the scaling of the value and direction of the repulsive force. Afterdefining the target point and the position of the obstacle, the necessary parameters are measured andthe collision course correcting coordinates are selected on-board the quadcopter. The flight parametersof the quadcopter and the control coefficients of the anti-collision algorithm were analysed.

Tungsten oxide is a material, which is widely used in modern applications such as smart windows, anti-steam mirrors, and gas sensors. Five sets of tungsten oxide thin films were deposited by magnetron sputtering in the mixed argon-oxygen atmosphere composed of various content of reactive gas, i.e., from 5% to 15%. In each case, other deposition process parameters were the same. The thickness of the thin films was ca. 160 nm and it was measured with the optical profilometer. It was noticed that along with the increase in the proportion of reactive gas in the process, thin film samples changed their colour from metallic, through navy blue to blue and simultaneously they became increasingly transparent. Measurements of electrical properties, made using the four-point probe and optical properties, performed with the aid of a spectrophotometer showed that increasing the proportion of oxygen in the process increased the average transmission in the visible wavelength range and the resistivity of the prepared WOx thin films. In the article, the Figure of Merit (FoM) coefficients are also presented, which determine the quality of the thin film samples. It was shown that the highest value of the FoM was observed for WOx thin film characterised by a relatively high average transmission in the visible wavelength range and low value of resistivity. The performed measurements showed that the gas atmosphere during magnetron sputtering process leads to the tailoring of the optical and electrical properties of tungsten oxide thin films, which in turn makes it possible to design and apply such thin film coatings in transparent electronics.

The results were related to theinvestigation of the sensing response toward H2 gas. The samples were prepared by the magnetronsputtering method using Ar:O2 plasma with low oxygen content (20% and 30%). An increase in theamount of oxygen in the gas mixture supplied to the magnetron led to a decrease in the deposition rate.The thickness of the deposited thin films, determined by the use of an optical profiler, was found tobe 600 nm and 200 nm, respectively. The coatings were then annealed in an ambient air atmosphereat a temperature in the range from 100C to 800C. Additionally, the roughness of the coating surfacewas measured. To investigate the optical properties of the thin films, transmission and reflection spectrawere measured, and parameters such as transmission coefficient, cutoff wavelength value, and opticalband gap value were determined as functions of the annealing temperature. The sensing propertiesof the thin films were characterised on the basis of changes in a resistance value as a response to amix of Ar:3.5% H2. It was found that the oxidation of the thin films has a key influence not only onthe response time of the TiOx thin films, but also on the character of the response.Keywords: materials engineering, titanium oxides, thin films, magnetron sputtering, optical properties,gas sensing properties","PeriodicalId":232579,"journal":{"name":"Bulletin of the Military University of Technology","volume":"108 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-06-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114623008","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

They allow, among other things, for practicing combat scenarios that are difficult or outright impossible to execute in reality. Virtual reality technologies are being constantly developed, as are the ways of their interaction with each other and with real objects. This article brings up the topic of interactive distributed simulations, presenting their technological developments as well as the goals of their authors. After the analysis of selected methods of interactive distributed simulations, project assumptions are formulated and interactions occurring between objects in virtual airspace are stated. The last part of the article describes the attempt of creating an interactive air situation simulator in accordance with the formulated assumptions. As a result of the work conducted, it was possible to program a simulator that allows us to study the interactions between radar warning receivers and ground based primary surveillance radars. Not all assumptions have been achieved, most notably full functionality with the DIS standard, however, the project can be further developed, allowing for full compatibility with this standard. Developing a simulator is a process that requires many assumptions, but also trade-offs. With correct assumptions and a standardised way of information exchange between simulators, it is possible to make a web of interoperable simulators.
