Abstract: The present disclosure relates to systems, methods, and computer readable media implemented in connection with an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) to navigate a UAV along a desired path. For example, systems disclosed herein identify an anticipatory flight path and identify a plurality of reference points on the flight path relative to a current position of the UAV. The systems described herein may further determine reference angles between a current trajectory of the UAV and the reference points to determine an updated trajectory that the UAV should take to stay close to the identified flight path. The systems described herein may further cause the UAV to accelerate in a lateral direction based on the updated trajectory. The features and functionality of systems disclosed herein enable the UAV to accurately follow a complex path having sharp turns with little or no advanced knowledge of the flight path prior to departure.

Abstract: The present application discloses a new form of μ-STAP, referred to herein as post μ-STAP or Pμ-STAP, which overcomes the drawbacks associated with existing μ-STAP techniques. The Pμ-STAP techniques described herein facilitate the generation of additional training data and homogenization after pulse compression. For example, Pμ-STAP techniques may apply a plurality of homogenization filters to a pulse compressed datacube generated from an input radar waveform, which produces a plurality of new pulse compressed datacubes with improved characteristics. Unlike existing μ-STAP techniques described above, which require pre-pulse compressed data to operate, the Pμ-STAP techniques disclosed in the present application are designed to utilize pulse compressed data, and therefore may be readily applied to legacy radar systems.

Abstract: An aeromechanically stable sabot system that includes a center of gravity that is placed forward of an aerodynamic center of the aeromechanically stable sabot system when in steady-state flight. By placing the center of gravity forwards of the aerodynamic center, the sabot system exhibits positive longitudinal and directional stability. To illustrate, the sabot system and/or portions thereof will return to stable flight after being disturbed in pitch (vertically or about a transverse horizontal axis) or yaw (side to side or about a vertical axis) when traveling horizontally.

Abstract: A process for oxidizing an alkyl substrate may comprise combining an alkyl substrate (e.g., propane, n-butane) and ozone in a liquid phase medium comprising a branched alkane activator (e.g., isobutane) and a protic additive (e.g., water) under conditions sufficient to oxidize the alkyl substrate to products. The alkyl substrate may be selected from linear and cyclic alkanes.

Abstract: A general mounting method for ducted fan propulsors is disclosed. This mounting method uses extremely slender stators that connect the duct ring to the propulsor which is mounted in the middle and drives the rotor, fan or propeller. The slender stators take the form of spokes and as such are so slender that the midspan stresses within the spokes are dominated by axial tension loads rather than the shear loads experienced by conventional stators. The spokes may have an aerodynamic shape and damping methods may be used to retard spoke vibrations and transmission of engine vibrations to the duct and force. The duct itself is also stiffened by the spoke arrangement, thereby reducing low frequency vibration modes.

Abstract: A computer-vision-based fatigue crack detection approach using a short video is described. Feature tracking is applied to the video for tracking the surface motion of the monitored structure under repetitive load. Then, a crack detection and localization algorithm is established to search for differential features at different frames in the video. The effectiveness of the proposed approach is validated through testing two experimental specimens with in-plane and out-of-plane fatigue cracks. Results indicate that the proposed approach can robustly identify fatigue cracks, even when the cracks are under ambient lighting conditions, surrounded by other crack-like edges, covered by complex surface textures, or invisible to human eyes due to crack closure. The approach enables accurate quantification of crack openings under fatigue loading with good accuracy.

Abstract: An ad hoc approach denoted as devoid clutter capture and filling (DeCCaF) that addresses the nonstationarity effects that arise when input radar waveform returns exhibiting dynamic spectra variations are processed to combat dynamic RFI is disclosed. Portions of the spectra of each input waveform return of a set of input radar waveform returns processed during the CPI may be filled with clutter information borrowed from other waveform returns of the set of waveform returns. DeCCaF may combined with an appropriate filter (e.g., a matched filter, a mismatched filter) to achieve results that are nearly indistinguishable from input radar waveform returns in which no spectral variation are present.
