To accommodate for this, the closely spaced parallel approach (CSPA) operation has been proposed as a viable solution for the future demands of the year 2020. As part of efforts to understand the capacity constraints on the terminal area, several factors are to be examined closely if capacity gain of two folds is expected. CSPA operations allows for such capacity gain, however, it requires construction of additional runways, meeting the Wake Vortex separation standards by an alternative approach to the existing in-trail separation and analysis on enabling communication, navigation and surveillance (CNS) technologies that ensure safe CSPA operations.

The NBC communications network is a system of network nodes that allow sensors to communicate with a host computer to alert military personnel if a hazardous material has entered their area. This project is important because of the value it places on human life. If implemented correctly, this project will eliminate any unnecessary trips into a zoned hazardous area, thus protecting the lives of military personnel. The adaptability of this project allows the network could be transferred to cities and buildings to protect the lives of civilians. The desire for safety drives this project to continue to improve accuracy of the sensors and decrease the need for human involvement","PeriodicalId":287496,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 2004 IEEE Systems and Information Engineering Design Symposium, 2004.","volume":"34 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2004-04-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124633732","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}

This Web-based system allows for information sharing and cross-jurisdictional analysis between the various law enforcement agencies throughout Virginia. However, this system was not deployed. This year's capstone team has improved Web-CAT's functionality, robustness, and quality of analysis to enable deployment. This work has been done in the context of the whole systems lifecycle: (1) analysis; (2) design; (3) integration; (4) testing; and (5) evaluation. The capstone team has added a number of components to improve data sharing and crime analysis. These new components to WebCAT, among others, have improved the capabilities of crime analysts in terms of (1) quality of analysis; (2) increased speed of performing an analysis; (3) minimal cost necessary to design, implement, use, and maintain the application","PeriodicalId":287496,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 2004 IEEE Systems and Information Engineering Design Symposium, 2004.","volume":"46 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2003-04-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122449342","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}
