• AFRL Advances Autonomous Aerial Refueling
  a multichannel PGPS relative navigation system and automated flight control system (FCS). The Spiral 1 system will use dual-redundant Tactical Targeting Network Technology wideband datalinks to connect the PGPS systems in the tanker and receiver.

• Autonomy Is Next Step in Robotics
  autonomous ground vehicle. The 7,000-lb., six-wheeled vehicle does 30-40 kph. (18-25 mph.), carries 1,900 lb. of gear, and frees infantrymen of packs, rations and ammunition on dismounted missions. Darpa ended testing of the Crusher last year and turned it over to the Army for more tests.Credit: U.S. ARMY...
• Case Study: Underwater Vision
  Now in its 13th edition, the RoboSub challenge, co-sponsored by the AUVSI foundation and the U.S. Office of Naval Research (ONR), aims to advance the development of Autonomous Underwater Vehicles (AUVs) by challenging a new generation of engineers to perform realistic missions in an underwater...
• TPM Implementation through small groups for zero defect production of parts
  Author : Vinod Kumar Singh, Total Preventive Maintenance (TPM) is a shop floor management technique developed more precisely by JIPM and is focused about developing autonomous small groups of operators. It concentrates on increasing the robustness of production process by focusing on process plant...
• Newest UAV is a converted chopper
  experimental UAV has flown as much, so quickly, Cerchie says. Last September, less than a year after program go-ahead, the UAV took its first flight and was doing autonomous takeoffs and landings only a month later. In autonomous flight, the aircraft is programmed to fly missions going from takeoff...
• Symbiosis of Maintenance and Safety in process industry
  practices should be adopted. Planned Maintenance and Autonomous maintenance should be adopted and integrated with safety aspects The overall objective of the maintenance process is to reduce downtime, increase MTBF, prevent deterioration of equipment and ensure that there are no accidents/incident...
• Software Enabled Control
  . in general, and autonomous aircraft in particular. Control, in this context,. should not be interpreted in some narrow sense. Here it encompasses algorithms. for inner-loop regulation as well as supervisory and mission-level. optimization, modeling and estimation of vehicle dynamics and environmental...
• Interfacing a Galil Controller with a Cognex Barcode Scanner (.pdf)
  The ability to track product as it moves through an autonomous system is often critical to the overall success of the system. Generally the tracking of the product is performed with a simple bar code scanner. Many times the bar code data is sent back to a host PC for processing however in some...
• X-40A sails through flight tests
  with the results of this flight test," says John Fuller, Boeing project manager. "It is a significant step in the development of the Space Maneuver Vehicle. We wanted to validate low-speed handling qualities and demonstrate autonomous approach and landing capabilities. We did that today. Our next step...
