The presented technology framework is driven by the goal to provide rapid and accurate situational awareness for mission planning in applications such as disaster control/recovery, search and rescue, industrial infrastructure monitoring, large inventory accounting, military asset movement and so on. Our approach to deliver the necessary and sufficient amount of information using a hierarchical swarm of UAVs. Processed information from UAV onboard sensors is synthesized into easy-to-interpret three dimensional (3D) contents for particular areas of interest. This paper presents the preliminary proof of concept experiments for the presented 3D modeling framework, tested with a heterogeneous swarm of UAVs of varying capabilities. The goal of the presented research and development effort is to deliver a rapid and enhanced surveillance/reconnaissance capability with selective 3D detailing and classification of only the areas of interest in the global map and not the entire map, thereby limiting the computational cost and cognitive load on human agents in the team.","PeriodicalId":246293,"journal":{"name":"2018 International Conference on Unmanned Aircraft Systems (ICUAS)","volume":"31 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123272383","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}

A state observer of the control errors is defined because the vehicle could be affected by measurement noise and external disturbances. In this study, the control errors are estimated by a state neural observer from which the neural adaptive system generates a control action. Also, a supervisor term is defined in order to guarantee the system stability. The neuro-adaptive controller parameters are updated on-line by the adjustment laws that are a function of the control errors calculated by the observer. These adjustment laws were obtained through the Lyapunov stability criterion. To summarize, simulation results demonstrate the good performance of the proposed technique for trajectory tracking tasks in navigation environments affected by measuring noise and external disturbances.","PeriodicalId":246293,"journal":{"name":"2018 International Conference on Unmanned Aircraft Systems (ICUAS)","volume":"59 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125415887","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}

We present an identification method for the thrust force generated by the propulsion system based on the in-flight measurements where we make use of the well-known linear and quadratic approximations of the lift and drag coefficients, respectively, for low angles of attack. This overcomes the lack of propeller thrust measurements and the obtained models are successfully evaluated against CFD simulation. The identified thrust model proves applicable beyond low angles of attack, thus enabling force estimation in the full flight envelope.","PeriodicalId":246293,"journal":{"name":"2018 International Conference on Unmanned Aircraft Systems (ICUAS)","volume":"79 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122297474","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}

Drones can fail during the flight and such drone failures can result in loss of demand and consumer satisfaction. Therefore, we consider the reliability of drones in a delivery network to minimize expected loss of demand (ELOD). The more reliable the network is, the less amount of demand will be lost. We assume drone failures follow an exponential distribution. A two-stage programming is proposed: the first stage provides a pool solution of feasible paths and the second stage provides the most reliable scheduling. The proposed procedure is implemented for a case study and the results show the impact of including reliability in drone scheduling.","PeriodicalId":246293,"journal":{"name":"2018 International Conference on Unmanned Aircraft Systems (ICUAS)","volume":"5 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122300429","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}

Decision-making software must allow the aircraft to perform tasks such as detect and avoid, as well as respond to critical failures mid-flight. This paper develops a ground impact and hazard mitigation (GIHM) module that integrates the following: (1) consideration of flight failure modes, (2) generation of feasible ground impact footprints based on glide equations, (3) selection of safest response ground impact sites based on a high resolution LandScan USA population dataset, and (4) controlled descent to selected site. For a sample population distribution, integration of GIHM with standard UAV flight software shows a reduction of 20.396 casualties per 100,000 flight hours compared to the flight software without GIHM. A 96% reduction in fatalities per flight hour resulted from incorporating this module, which brings UAVs closer to being safe enough to be integrated into the National Airspace System (NAS).","PeriodicalId":246293,"journal":{"name":"2018 International Conference on Unmanned Aircraft Systems (ICUAS)","volume":"55 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122518763","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}

Nevertheless, most existing UAS platforms only have limited computing capabilities to perform various delay-sensitive operations. To tackle this issue, in this paper, we develop a high-performance onboard UAS computing platform with the virtualization technique. Specifically, we first discuss the selection of microcomputers that are suitable for UAS onboard computing. We then investigate virtualization schemes that can effectively manage constrained resources in UAS, flexibly support UAS applications, and enable resource sharing among multiple UAS to achieve higher computing power. In our study, we compare the performance (such as computing, network, isolation, etc.) of two representative virtualization techniques including virtual machine (VM) and container, using KVM and Docker, respectively. Extensive experimental results demonstrate the performance trade-offs between VM and container, and validate the benefits of virtualization in supporting real UAS applications.","PeriodicalId":246293,"journal":{"name":"2018 International Conference on Unmanned Aircraft Systems (ICUAS)","volume":"26 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129255757","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}

Increased yaw authority is achieved by tilting the propellers' thrust directions in the direction that increases their yaw torque. The power reduction is achieved in noisy environments, where the vehicle experiences external disturbances. This is due to the lower variance in motor forces required for yaw control, and the convex functional relationship between force and power consumed. We present a theoretical analysis motivating a reduction in power consumed to first order in increasing propeller tilt, in addition to increasing agility. Experiments validate the idea, where the measured electric power is used instead of the mechanical power consumption. Experiments are performed on two quadcopters of very different scales, with masses ranging from 45g to 1.15kg, with both showing a power improvement.","PeriodicalId":246293,"journal":{"name":"2018 International Conference on Unmanned Aircraft Systems (ICUAS)","volume":"13 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121316127","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}

Ceiling effect is similar in principle to ground effect, in which an increase in lift is observed flying close to the ground. Ground effect has been well studied for conventional helicopters since the 1950's, and more recent research is exploring this phenomenon for multirotor aircraft. Ceiling effect, however, was never explored in detail for conventional helicopters because large manned aircraft do not operate in enclosed spaces. The recent widespread use of small-scale UAVs and the demand for increased autonomy when flying in enclosed environments has created a need for detailed studies of ceiling effect. This paper discusses the benefits of an improved understanding of ceiling effect, the current state-of-the-art, and a comprehensive experimental evaluation of ceiling effect for single and multirotor UAVs. The experimental results for multirotors presented are for multiple propeller configurations, speeds and spacings. In addition, a comparison is made with ground effect, and the fundamental differences that exist in these two cases. Ultimately, this work provides foundations for the development of an improved UAV flight controller that can accurately account for various aerodynamic disturbances that occur near surfaces and structures to improve flight stability.","PeriodicalId":246293,"journal":{"name":"2018 International Conference on Unmanned Aircraft Systems (ICUAS)","volume":"9 9","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"113979095","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}
