Operator scheduling strategies in supervisory control of multiple UAVs

The application of network centric operations to time-constrained command and control environments will mean that human operators will be increasingly responsible for multiple simultaneous supervisory control tasks. One such futuristic application will be the control of multiple unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) by a single operator. To achieve such performance in complex, time critical, and high risk settings, automated systems will be required both to guarantee rapid system response, as well as manageable workload for operators. Through the development of a simulation test bed for human supervisory control of multiple independent UAVs by a single operator, this paper presents recent efforts to investigate workload mitigation strategies as a function of increasing automation. A human-in-the-loop experiment revealed that under low workload conditions, operators' cognitive strategies were relatively robust across increasing levels of automated decision support. However, when provided with explicit automated recommendations and with the ability to negotiate with external agencies for delays in arrival times for targets, operators inappropriately fixated on the need to globally optimize their schedules. In addition, without explicit visual representation of uncertainty, operators tended to treated all probabilities uniformly. This study also revealed that operators who reached cognitive saturation adapted two very distinct management strategies, which led to varying degrees of success. Lastly, operators with management-by-exception decision support exhibited evidence of automation bias.

功能分配是人机设计过程中一个必然阶段,因为合适的功能分配能够让整个系统更加有效更加可靠。因此,我们主要对人机系统的人机功能分配问题进行研究,根据人、机的内在特征,分析了人、机各自的能力优势并进行了比较。针对实际过程中决策属性值具有高度不确定性的特点,将ULMADM(不确定语言多属性决策)方法引入功能分配过程,采用不确定扩展加权算术平均(UEWAA)算子确定功能自动化等级范围,基于UEWAA算子和不确定语言混合集结(ULHA)算子相结合的多属性群决策算法最终确定驾驶舱人机功能分配的自动化等级。最后,以民机驾驶舱"故障诊断"功能分配为例进行了计算,验证了所提出的功能分配方法的可行性和有效性。

基于MAP估计和广义高斯分布的SAR图像边缘比率检测方法

 合成孔径雷达(SAR)图像的低信噪比和乘性相干斑噪声给SAR图像的边缘检测带来了极大的困难.通过引入广义高斯(GG)分布作为局部均值功率的先验分布模型,给出了局部均值功率在最大后验概率(MAP)意义下的最优估计,进而提出一种新的SAR图像边缘比率检测算子.利用以梅林变换为基础的对数累积量(MoLC)方法估计GG分布的参数,在此基础上给出一种局部均值功率MAP估计和GG分布参数估计的联合迭代求解方法.利用SAR实测数据对本文提出的边缘检测算子进行仿真验证,并将其与平均比率(RoA)算子和指数加权均值比(ROEWA)算子进行了对比,结果表明该算子可以有效克服相干斑噪声的影响,边缘定位准确且虚假边缘明显减少.

Autonomous flight and navigation of VTOL UAVs: from autonomy demonstrations to out-of-sight flights

Future applications of UAV systems will depend on the aircraft autonomous behavior and decision capabilities. Search and Rescue is one complex possible mission and is here taken as a case study. The ReSSAC project is a multidisciplinary project at ONERA. Its main challenges are related to the architectures and algorithms for autonomous decision and information processing onboard UAVs that perform their mission in cooperation with operators. The feasibility demonstrations and results of the project are intended to be reused and extended in further studies, projects and collaborations. A first step of the project was to develop an autonomous control architecture for our two rotorcraft. In this paper, we present the current status and preliminary achievements of the ReSSAC project, especially some records of past experimental flights with our autonomous aircraft. We further discuss ongoing studies and research perspectives.     

Designing security systems: changing the way we think

Today's world demands new ways of thinking about security solutions. The problem space is complex and ambiguous. Solutions must be multi-dimensional, incorporating not only technology, but the social, economic, political, and religious dynamics of a security intervention. A facilitator-led experiential training program was designed for our technical staff that leads them out of the box. The course design is based upon the theories of cognitive flexibility and situated cognition, and uses a socio-constructivist approach. Participants are led by a senior systems engineer/facilitator through a series of exercises in which they observe contextually relevant right way/wrong way videos, engage in critical thinking assessments about what they observed, and solve logic puzzles. Group interaction and problem-solving is emphasized. As in the real world, there is no one "right" solution. Outcomes can include a broader understanding of the threat space, creative solutions that enable survival in spite of an evolving enemy, and a deeper sense of the complex dynamics involved in any security decision. Training impact is being evaluated using a mixed qualitative/quantitative approach. Survey data combined with ethnographic interviewing techniques will determine whether participants have transferred their new understandings to the work environment.

燃烧多相流的介尺度动理学建模研究进展

基于求解Navier-Stokes方程组的传统计算流体力学已经在诸多领域取得了巨大的成功,但在航空、航天、微流控等领域也遇到了新的瓶颈与挑战。其原因分为2个方面：①物理建模层面的问题;②离散格式带来的数值精度和稳定性问题。微尺度燃烧等一系列燃烧新概念的研究表明,特征更加丰富但以前知之甚少的热力学非平衡行为蕴含着大量待开发的物理功能。物理模型合理和具备相应功能是数值仿真研究的前提;物理建模层面的问题无法通过数值精度的提高来解决。本文从物理建模与复杂物理场分析角度,介绍了非平衡燃烧系统离散玻尔兹曼建模方法（DBM）的研究进展。DBM是非平衡统计物理学粗粒化建模理论在流体力学领域的具体应用之一,是相空间描述方法在离散玻尔兹曼方程形式下的进一步发展。它选取一个视角,研究系统的一组动理学性质,因而要求描述这组性质的动理学矩在模型简化中保值;以该组动理学矩的独立分量为基,构建相空间,使用该相空间和其子空间来描述系统的非平衡行为特征;研究视角和建模精度随着研究推进而调整。借助DBM可以研究反应过程中不同自由度内能之间的不平衡和相互转换等Navier-Stokes模型无法模拟的动理学过程。在内爆和外爆过程中,几何汇聚与发散效应等效于一个"外场力",在球心处系统始终处于热力学平衡态;在冯·纽曼压强峰处,系统不是偏离平衡最远,而是在平衡态附近;在冯·纽曼峰后反应区以外,Chapmann-Jouguet理论值、Zeldovich-Neumann-Doering （ZND）理论值和DBM结果相互验证;在反应区内DBM结果与ZND结果一致;在冯·纽曼压强峰前的压缩阶段,DBM模拟结果在物理上更合理。在冲击压缩过程中,相对于其他自由度,压缩波所在自由度上的内能先增加,因而这一自由度上的内能总是朝着正向偏离其平衡态值,而横向自由度上的内能总是朝着逆向偏离其平衡态值。在二流体模型视角下,反应物和产物朝着相反的方向偏离热力学平衡态。     

多线程控制技术在面向对象实时仿真中的应用

随着实时仿真复杂性的提高,单个的处理器不足以完成所有的必需仿真计算任务。希望能在不同的处理器上完成实时仿真的不同任务,对称多处理器的机制需要软件支持,以使每个处理器通过共享内存进行信息交换。利用多线程控制技术,可以在非全进程开销或不使用共享内存的条件下,使用多处理器。其理由在于线程本身就蕴涵有共享地址的概念。一个多线程的实时程序,利用其中的主线程控制其它的辅助线程,每个处理器用于完成一个辅助的实时计算线程,主线程负责实时时钟的监控,当时钟到达时,启动相应的辅助线程,辅助线程利用图形用户界面(GUI)来监控仿真的进行。

Numerical simulation of a cabin ventilation subsystem in a space station oriented real-time system

An environment control and life support system(ECLSS) is an important system in a space station. The ECLSS is a typical complex system, and the real-time simulation technology can help to accelerate its research process by using distributed hardware in a loop simulation system. An implicit fixed time step numerical integration method is recommended for a real-time simulation system with time-varying parameters. However, its computational efficiency is too low to satisfy the real-time data interaction, especially for the complex ECLSS system running on a PC cluster. The instability problem of an explicit method strongly limits its application in the ECLSS real-time simulation although it has a high computational efficiency. This paper proposes an improved numerical simulation method to overcome the instability problem based on the explicit Euler method. A temperature and humidity control subsystem(THCS) is firstly established, and its numerical stability is analyzed by using the eigenvalue estimation theory. Furthermore, an adaptive operator is proposed to avoid the potential instability problem. The stability and accuracy of the proposed method are investigated carefully. Simulation results show that this proposed method can provide a good way for some complex time-variant systems to run their real-time simulation on a PC cluster.

Concepts in Computer Control for Frequency Surveillance

The computer controlled frequency surveillance system utilizes a small computer in conjunction with a digital interface unit, to act as the controller between the computer and two completely programmable receivers. It operates in the frequency range from 20 Hz to 1 GHz with a programmed dynamic range of at least 120 dB. The system can, with proper programming, detect, analyze, correlate, and display all of the frequency information which the basic receivers are capable of intercepting. In addition, self-calibrating features are also included as well as the ability to make decisions based on the data received by the receiver. These decision making aspects, or branches in the program allow the frequency surveillance system to perform a multiplicity of functions, which can be predetermined. The basic concepts required in the development of a computer controlled frequency surveillance system are presented. Numerous applications are cited describing the far-reaching potentials inherent in this type of system. The functional operation of the system is discussed in relationship to the receiving systems and the computer programs.
