Emergency Maneuver Training is a textbook for emergency maneuvers and other unusual attitude training programs as well as a source book for independent study. It explains the EMT (Emergency Maneuver Training) Program developed by the author and taught to acclaim throughout the USA. The book--enhanced by 115 illustrations--helps pilots develop an integrated understanding of the direct effects of airplane controls when applied individually and in combination; of human factors and variables introduced into the flight process by pilots; and of proper pilot procedures to remedy difficult situations encountered in flight.
This book focuses on the advanced controller designs of flight vehicle maneuver and operation. Chapters explain advanced control mechanisms and algorithms for different controllers required in a flight vehicle system. The book topics such as air-disturbance fixed time controllers, algorithms for orbit and attitude computation, adaptive control modes, altitude stabilization, nonlinear vibration control, partial space elevator configuration, controls for formation flying and satellite cluster, respectively. Key features: 1) Includes an investigation of high-precision and high-stability control problems of flight vehicles 2) Multiple complex disturbances are considered to improve robust performance and control accuracy 3)Covers a variety of single spacecraft and distributed space systems (including hypersonic vehicles, flexible aircraft, rigid aircraft, and satellites This book will be helpful to aerospace scientists and engineers who are interested in working on the development of flight vehicle maneuver and operation. Researchers studying control science and engineering, and advanced undergraduate and graduate students and professionals involved in the flight vehicle control field will also benefit from the information given in this book.
Incorporating papers from the 12th International Symposium on Experimental Robotics (ISER), December 2010, this book examines the latest advances across the various fields of robotics. Offers insights on both theoretical concepts and experimental results.
Fast Satellite Attitude Maneuver and Control introduces the concept of agile satellites and corresponding fast maneuver attitude control systems, systematically and comprehensively presenting recent research results of fast maneuver attitude control for agile satellites by using advanced nonlinear control techniques. This reference book focuses on modeling and attitude control, considering different actuator combinations, actuator installation deviation, actuator fault, and flexible appendage coupling effect for agile satellites. The book provides a unified platform for understanding and applicability of agile satellites fast maneuverer and stabilization control for different purposes. It will be an excellent resource for researchers working on spacecraft design, nonlinear control systems, vehicle systems and complex control systems. Unifies existing and emerging concepts concerning nonlinear control theory, fault tolerant, and attitude control for agile satellites Provides a series of the latest results, including, but not limited to, fast maneuverer and stabilization control, hybrid actuator control, nonlinear attitude control, fault tolerant control, and active vibration suppression towards agile satellites Comprehensively captures recent advances of theory, technological aspects and applications of fast maneuverer and stabilization control in agile satellites Addresses research problems in each chapter, along with numerical and simulation results that reflect engineering practice and demonstrate the focus of developed analysis and synthesis approaches Contains comprehensive, up-to-date references, which play an indicative role for further study
The U.S. Army's Maneuver Control System (MCS) has been under development for a third of the century but has failed to meet the command and control needs of field units. Of the five command and control programs that are part of the Army Tactical Command and Control System (ATCCS), MCS is the least mature and the least accepted program, yet it is the most important because MCS provides the means for all levels of command to share a Command picture of the battlefield. The software acquisition strategy, government and contractor organizations, and technical approach are identified as the key areas in need of improvement. The Army's paradigm for developing command and control systems has to change. Software prototypes have to be fielded every nine months. The government and contractor organizations should emphasize horizontal rather than vertical integration. The technical approach must be achievable within the constraints of existing low capacity communications systems and software updates should be consistent with a target technical architecture. The Program Executive Officer for Command and Control Systems and the Director of Information Systems for Command, Control, Communications, and Computers (DISC4) have the authority to make the recommended changes. The issue is whether the management focus will remain on the five individual ATCCS systems, or come to recognize ATCCS as a "system of systems."
