▼ This work describes the development of a network-centric unmanned aircraft system (UAS) for in situ sampling of supercell thunderstorms. UAS have been identified as a well-suited platform for meteorological observations given their portability, endurance, and ability to mitigate atmospheric disturbances. They represent a unique tool for performing targeted sampling in regions of a supercell thunderstorm previously unreachable through other methods. Doppler radar can provide unique measurements of the wind field in and around supercell thunderstorms. In order to exploit this capability, a planner was developed that can optimize ingress trajectories for severe storm penetration. The resulting trajectories were examined to determine the feasibility of such a mission, and to optimize ingress in terms of flight time and exposure to precipitation. A network-centric architecture was developed to handle the large amount of distributed data produced during a storm sampling mission. Creation of this architecture was performed through a bottom-up design approach which reflects and enhances the interplay between networked communication and autonomous aircraft operation. The advantages of the approach are demonstrated through several field and hardware-in-the-loop experiments containing different hardware, networking protocols, and objectives. Results are provided from field experiments involving the resulting network-centric architecture. An airmass boundary was sampled in the Collaborative Colorado Nebraska Unmanned Aircraft Experiment (CoCoNUE). Utilizing lessons learned from CoCoNUE, a new concept of operations (CONOPS) and UAS were developed to perform in situ sampling of supercell thunderstorms. Deployment during the Verification of the Origins of Rotation in Tornadoes Experiment 2 (VOR- TEX2) resulted in the first ever sampling of the airmass associated with the rear flank downdraft of a tornadic supercell thunderstorm by a UAS. Hardware-in-the-loop simulation capability was added to the UAS to enable further assessment of the system and CONOPS. The simulation combines a full six degree-of-freedom aircraft dynamic model with wind and precipitation data from simulations of severe convective storms. Interfaces were written to involve as much of the system's field hardware as possible, including the creation of a simulated radar product server. A variety of simulations were conducted to evaluate different aspects of the CONOPS used for the 2010 VORTEX2 field campaign. Advisors/Committee Members: Eric W. Frew, Brian M. Argrow, Adam Houston.

▼ Limit cycle oscillations (LCO), also known as utter, cause significant challenges in fight control of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), and could potentially lead to structural damage and catastrophic failures. LCO can be described as vibrational motions in the pitching and plunging displacements of an aircraft wing. Even in low Reynolds number (low-Re) fight regimes, LCO can exceed the limiting boundary for safe UAV fight. Further, as practical considerations motivate the design of smaller, lighter weight UAVs, there is a growing need for UAV systems that do not require heavy mechanical actuators (e.g., ailerons). To address this, the use of synthetic jet actuators (SJAs) in UAV fight control systems is becoming popular as a practical alternative to mechanical deflection surfaces. SJAs are promising tools for LCO suppression systems in small UAVs due to their small size, ease of operation, and low cost. Uncertainties inherent in the dynamics of SJAs present significant challenges in SJA-based control design. Specifically, the input-output characteristic of SJAs is nonlinear and contains parametric uncertainty. Further control design challenges exist in situations where multiple actuators lose effectiveness. In the event of loss of effectiveness in multiple actuators, control challenges arise due to the fact that the resulting system contains fewer actuators than degrees of freedom (DOF) to be controlled (i.e., an underactuated system). Still further difficulties exist in control design for dual parallel underatuated systems, where standard backstepping-based control approaches cannot be applied. In this thesis, three nonlinear SJA-based control methods are presented, which are capable of complete (i.e., asymptotic) suppression of LCO in UAV systems containing uncertainty. An adaptive control method is presented first, which is shown to achieve asymptotic regulation of LCO for UAVs in the presence of model uncertainty and unmodelled external disturbances. Motivated by the desire to reduce the computational complexity of the closed-loop system, a structurally simplistic robust (single feedback loop) control design is presented next, which is shown to achieve asymptotic LCO regulation without the need for adaptive parameter estimation. Finally, to address the control challenges encountered in the event of actuator faults, a robust control method is presented, which achieves simultaneous suppression of the pitching and plunging displacements using only a single scalar control input. The control design presented for this underactuated scenario is also proven to completely compensate for the inherent SJA nonlinearity. Rigorous Lyapunov-based stability analyses are provided to prove the theoretical results, and numerical simulation results are provided to complement the theoretical development.

▼ Small unmanned aircraft systems (sUAS) have proven their effectiveness for measuring both the inertial and aircraft-relative wind. Multiple methods for wind measurement from sUAS exist, but one of the more common instruments is the multi-hole probe (MHP). While the MHP is accurate and simple to use, there are two main drawbacks: 1) the MHP airdata system can cost several times that of the sUAS, and 2) the probe itself is often exposed to damage during routine operations. Flush airdata systems (FADS) are an alternative method of wind sensing, and work with pressure ports mounted flush with the aircraft surface. This removes any external components, thereby mitigating the risk of damage to the airdata system. The work presented details the implementation of a FADS for sUAS. Computational fluid dynamics simulations were used to determine the port locations of the FADS. Airframe locations were sorted based on the total sensitivity over a range of angles of attack and sideslip. Upon completion of hardware installation, the FADS was calibrated in flight using an onboard MHP. A portion of the flight testing was reserved for validation of the FADS. Multi-layer feedforward neural networks are employed to produce estimates of the angle of attack and sideslip, while static and stagnation ports on the fuselage measure airspeed. In the validation portion of flight tests, the FADS exhibited an overall mean error of 0.12 m/s in airspeed, but errors in angle of attack and sideslip were unbiased. Root-mean-square errors were 0.42 m/s, 0.65 ◦ , and 0.87 ◦ , respectively. Additionally, 97.7% of the errors in airspeed were within 1 m/s of the MHP, while 93.8% and 87.3% of the angle of attack and sideslip errors were within 1 ◦ . Flight tests show that a FADS can be calibrated in flight, and is an effective method for measuring the aircraft-relative wind from a small UAS. Advisors/Committee Members: Brian M. Argrow, Gijs de Boer, Nisar Ahmed, Alireza Doostan, John Farnsworth.

▼ In 2010, NASA announced that its new vision is to support private space launch operations. It is anticipated that this new direction will create the need for new and innovative ideas that push the current boundaries of space exploration and contain the promise of substantial gain, both in research and capital. The purpose of the study is to plan and estimate the feasibility of a mission to visit a number of near Earth asteroids (NEAs). The mission would take place before the end of the 21st century, and would only use commercially available technology. Throughout the mission design process, while holding astronaut safety paramount, it was the goal to maximize the return while keeping the cost to a minimum. A mission of the nature would appeal to the private space industry because it could be easily adapted and set into motion. The mission design was divided into three main parts; mission timeline, vehicle design and power sources, with emphasis on nuclear and solar electric power, were investigated. The timeline and associated trajectories were initially selected using a numerical estimation and then optimized using Satellite Tool Kit (STK) 9.s's Design Explorer Optimizer [1]. Next, the spacecraft was design using commercially available parts that would support the mission requirements. The Variable Specific Impulse Magnetoplasma Rocket (VASIMR) was and instrumental piece in maximizing the number of NEAs visited. Once the spacecraft was designed, acceptable power supply options were investigated. The VASIMR VX-200 requires 200 kilowatts of power to maintain thrust. This creates the need for a substantial power supply that consists of either a nuclear reactor of massive solar arrays. STK 9.1's Design Explorer Optimizer was able to create a mission time line that allowed for the exploration of seven NEAs in under two years, while keeping the total mission ΔV under 71 kilometers per second. Based on these initial findings, it is determined that a mission of this nature is feasible and would could greatly benefit the private space industry.

▼ Unmanned vehicle systems, specifically Unmanned Air Vehicles (UAVs) and Unmanned Ground Vehicles (UGVs) have found potential use in both military and civilian applications. For many applications, unmanned vehicle systems are required to navigate in urban environments where obstacles with various types and sizes exist. The main contribution of this research is to offer vision-based path planning, collision avoidance, and target tracking strategies for Unmanned Air and Ground vehicles operating in urban environments. Two vision-based local-level frame mapping and planning techniques are first developed for Miniature Air Vehicles (MAVs). The techniques build maps and plan paths in the local-level frame of MAVs directly using the camera measurements without transforming to the inertial frame. Using a depth map of an environment obtained by computer vision methods, the first technique employs an extended Kalman Filter (EKF) to estimate the range, azimuth to, and height of obstacles, and constructs local spherical maps around MAVs. Based on the maps, the Rapidly-Exploring Random Tree (RRT) algorithm is used to plan collision-free Dubins paths. The second technique constructs local multi-resolution maps using an occupancy grid, which give higher resolution to the areas that are close to MAVs and give lower resolution to the areas that are far away. The maps are built using a log-polar representation. The two planning techniques are demonstrated in simulation and flight tests. Based on the observation that a camera does not provide accurate time-to-collision (TTC) measurements, two and three dimensional observability-based planning algorithms are explored. The techniques estimate both TTC and bearing using bearing-only measurements. A nonlinear observability analysis of state estimation process is conducted to obtain the conditions for complete observability of the system. Using the conditions, the observability-based planning algorithms are designed to minimize the estimation uncertainties while simultaneously avoiding collisions. The two dimensional planning algorithm parameterizes an obstacle using TTC and azimuth, and constructs local polar maps. The three dimensional planning algorithm parameterizes an obstacle using inverse TTC, azimuth, and elevation, and constructs local spherical maps. The algorithms are demonstrated in simulation. Lastly, a probabilistic path planning algorithm is developed for tracking a moving target in urban environments using UAVs and UGVs. The algorithm takes into account occlusions due to obstacles. It models the target using a dynamic occupancy grid and updates the target location using a Bayesian filter. Based on the target's current and probable future locations, a decentralized path planning algorithm is designed to generate suboptimal paths that maximize the sum of the joint probability of detection for all vehicles over a finite look-ahead horizon. Results demonstrate the planning algorithm is successful in solving the moving target tracking problem in urban environments.

▼ Limit cycle oscillations (LCO), also known as utter, cause significant challenges in flight control of small unmanned aerial vehicles (SUAVs), and could potentially lead to structural damage and catastrophic failures. LCO can be described as vibrational motions in the rocking, pitching and plunging displacements of an aircraft wing. To address this, the use of synthetic jet actuators (SJAs) in UAV flight control systems is becoming popular as a practical alternative and to mechanical deflection surfaces. Synthetic jet actuators are promising tools for LCO suppression systems in small UAVs due to their small size, ease of operation, and low cost. Uncertainties inherent in the dynamics of the synthetic jet actuators present significant challenges in the synthetic jet actuator-based control design. Specifically, the input-output characteristic (voltage-virtual deflection angle relationship) of the synthetic jet actuators is nonlinear and contains parametric uncertainty. Further control design challenges exist in situations where multiple actuators lose effectiveness. This dissertation focuses on the suppression of limit cycle oscillations on small unmanned air vehicles using synthetic jet actuators. A brief description on how wind gust affects aircraft tracking control is presented. It shows an extension to a paper by adding the wind gust model to the system while also varying the uncertain synthetic jet actuator parameters using a Monte Carlo method. Next, a robust nonlinear control method is presented, which achieves simultaneous aircraft tracking control and limit cycle oscillation suppression using these synthetic jet actuators and a robust controller. Following that, a nonlinear LCO regulation method is presented, which uses a bank of dynamic filters to eliminate the need for pitching and plunging LCO rate measurements. Finally, an alternative method of LCO regulation control is presented, which utilizes a sliding mode observer in lieu of a bank of filters to estimate the pitching and plunging LCO rates.

▼ Small UAVs have tremendous potential in military and civil applications, but are limited by their size in payload capacity and flight endurance. Extra batteries or fuel can be added to increase endurance, but at the expense of mission payload. Autonomous soaring techniques directly inspired by birds extract energy from the environment and offer the ability to increase UAV endurance without sacrificing payload. Dynamic soaring exploits naturally-occurring spatial wind gradients to gain energy and has been used by albatrosses to routinely fly hundreds of miles out at sea. This technique requires precise knowledge of the wind vector and albatrosses are the only birds capable of it due to specialized sensory organs in their beak nostrils. A flush air data sensing (FADS) system located on the nose of a soaring-capable UAV operates similar to an albatross beak and measures the aircraft's orientation with respect to the wind. The approach aims to create a small, versatile, low-cost sensing system in comparison to the large, expensive, commercial-grade wind sensors currently available. The design of the system was developed from potential flow and panel method models. Flush pressure ports drilled into the surface of a detachable nosecone feed airspeed, angle of attack, and angle of sideslip measurements to an Arduino microcontroller acting as a programmable air data computer. The entire FADS system cost less than $130 to construct and instrument, but still measures the complete wind vector. Neural networks are implemented to compute the wind vector. Wind tunnel tests collected training and validation data for airspeeds from 9 m/s to 27 m/s and aerodynamic angles from -15 to +15 degrees. Five neural networks of 3, 9, 15, 30 and 45 neurons were created for each wind parameter from the training data. Validation results confirm the more complex networks outperform the simpler 3, 9, and 15 neuron models, although not by considerably more. Ultimately, a 30 neuron network model is chosen as it performs just as well as the 45 neuron model, but with a simpler structure. Numerous flight tests conducted with a FADS-equipped sailplane demonstrate the capability of the system in real world flight regimes. Pilot-induced longitudinal and lateral-directional maneuvers verified the system's accuracy in dynamic maneuvers and steady glides. The preliminary flight test results prove the neural network-based FADS system's ability to accurately compute the wind vector for use in dynamic soaring research.

▼ The aviation industry is under increasing pressure to reduce cost and manage the increased number of passengers. One area under pressure is the Air Traffic Control. The Air Traffic Control will in a foreseeable future manage the introduction of drones also known as Unmanned Aerial Vehicles by integrating them into civil airspace with manned aircraft. Drones are lacking consensus from authorities with regards to standards due to their rapid expansion. Given their size, shape and speed, they can also pose threats to manned aircrafts and there is a need to address them in an Air Traffic Management system interoperating with manned aircrafts. The purpose in this study is to identify what considerations to make when automating complex system elements with respect to safety. Safety involves all the different stakeholders in the air transportation system, which is a Safety critical System. Furthermore, the aim is also to identify areas in which European Operational Concept Validation Methodology (E-OCVM) can be complemented with. Standard E-OCVM is missing specific assessment criteria with regards to safety and how it can interact with other standards. The approach is thereby to use various standards with focus on Systems Engineering to complement E-OCVM since it is lacking with regards to how it is used to validate Air Traffic Control systems. To capture the complexity of automating elements of an industry involving many stakeholders, a qualitative analysis was conducted in this project, using a System Engineering approach with four standards A-SLP, A-RLP, A-DAS and A-SAS. A-SLP and A-RLP are two general standards while A-DAS and A-SAS are focusing on the contexts of aircrafts and software development. Empirical data was gathered by semi-structured interviews of seven experts within the relevant areas in the field. From the review of the four standards, it was found that they can for instance complement E-OCVM in how software errors can lead to a failure condition among other ways. The main identified considerations faced with an integration of drones into civil airspace, is to manage the human interaction with the introduced Air Traffic Management systems. More specifically, the human element must be involved from the training phase in the development of systems in a Safety Critical System to minimize risk. Furthermore, redundancies that are built into the system has to, not only be able to put the system into a safe state, but also be carefully analyzed in how they interact with other systems to avoid misjudgement for the Air Traffic Controllers. Lastly, to obtain specific details on how interoperability could occur using standards, the standards used in this study refer to usage of other documents and standards. Standards specifically tailored for the operational context of drones would facilitate further testing and implementation of their integration into civil airspace. Given that different standards were used to complement the EOCVM standard, a set of unified standards are required that are proportional with the…
